CITY'S game with Wimbledon this afternoon was marred by an alleged incident of racism.
Play was briefly stopped by referee Ross Joyce after a complaint was made about something shouted from the Valley Parade crowd towards striker Omar Bugiel near the end of the match.
Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson said: “I think there were some racist abuse towards Omar Bugiel. He’s gone in with the referee to report it.
“I don’t know what was said. Obviously, we’ll wait to see the report until I comment further but someone in the crowd has said something to him that they shouldn’t have done.”
An announcement was made on the tannoy to say that racist abuse would not be tolerated. But the club are set to investigate the incident.
