HUST chair issues statement on FA Cup abandonment

The match officials before opting to abandon the FA Cup tie at Sporting Khalsa

Hereford United Supporters' Trust has said the person who allegedly racially abused Sporting Khalsa's goalkeeper has brought shame on themselves and their football family.

The FA Cup tie between the two sides was abandoned midway through the second half after Sporting Khalsa's keeper Ravan Constable told referee Callum Fisk that he had been racially abused.

Both teams then walked off the pitch and into the dressing room before the decision was taken to abandon the game with Hereford leading 2-1.

HUST backed the club's earlier statement, which said: "As a club, we will not stand for any discriminatory behaviour. Any individual found responsible will be dealt with in the sternest possible manner, including police involvement as necessary."

Richard Tomkins, HUST's chair, added: "A lot of people are busting a gut to keep our club going. Whether it is the manager, players, staff, volunteers or supporters.

"Every spectator was enjoying a typical FA Cup tie today except one person it seems. We don't yet know the punishment our club may incur. The perpetrator has brought shame on themselves and their football family."
