Forest Green Rovers have threatened to take stringent action against a supporter following an incident of alleged racist abuse during their Sky Bet League Two defeat to Scunthorpe. "We can confirm we are currently investigating a report of racist abuse from a single fan towards an opposition player. The three-step protocol for dealing with racist incidents begins by stopping the match and instructing stadium authorities to give an announcement to spectators instructing for it to cease. Step two involves making a second announcement and the match being temporarily suspended by the referee, with players leaving the field. The third step is for the match to potentially be abandoned altogether following a consultation, should the discriminatory behaviour continue.
