Salford City players were subjected to racial abuse during this evening’s friendly against York City. The matter was swiftly reported to authorities and Salford’s team was taken off the pitch by manager, Karl Robinson. The incident is now being investigated by both York City and local police. Salford City condemns racism in all forms, will always protect and defend its players and staff from any form of behaviour of this kind, and condemns this evening’s behaviour in the strongest possible terms. We would like to thank York City for its swift response to this incident.
