Northants Live reports Williams left the game voluntarily but gave his details to staff at the game and was spoken to by the police, where he apologised for his behaviour. Northampton Magistrates' Court heard supporters at the non-league game confronted Williams after his remarks, which happened in the second half of the 1-1 draw in September last year. At about half-past four in the second half, one of the players for Rushden and Diamonds was awarded a free kick. "He heard him say 'Black Lives Don't Matter', with the match immediately stopped after players brought it to the attention of the referee and the linesman." Many others in the crowd also told Clive Williams to "get out of the ground" after hearing the comments.
