The visiting team refused to restart the game following the alleged racist abuse, leading to it being abandoned.
It is alleged that a racist comment was made by a member of the crowd towards a Tividale player during the first half, which was overheard by an assistant referee.
Tividale are yet to comment publicly on the incident but at the time tweeted, saying:"Match Abandoned. We will update when all the facts are in." The statement read:"Based on the information at the time, we are disappointed that management and players of Tividale FC refused to play the game as the teams were about to commence the second half, thereby forcing the referee to abandon the match. We apologise to supporters and visitors to the game that the match was abandoned.
"Whitchurch Alport FC will be working with the authorities and will be submitting evidence relating to the alleged incident and incidents that followed when the Tividale FC players and management were leaving the ground. We would urge any witnesses to the alleged racist comment, or to incidents following the abandonment of the game and the players and management of Tividale FC to come forward and make a statement to the club.
