Details of an explosive meeting where Rochdale AFC board members were accused of being like 'nancy boys' have emerged.
The Football Association has now made public detailed evidence from the disciplinary hearing which found that the man fronting a takeover bid of Rochdale AFC did made the homophobic comments. As a result, Andrew Curran was banned from the ground and football-related activities for 63 days and ordered to complete a face-to-face education programme.
The discriminatory remark was made by Mr Curran at a Zoom meeting with board members and the English Football League (EFL), on July 27, last year. Mr Curran and Darryl Rose were acting as representatives of Morton House MGT and First Form Construction Ltd who were attempting to take control of the club. The bid eventually failed.
