Two football clubs have been praised by a campaign group after fans were ejected from a match when sexist abuse was allegedly hurled at a female official during a match at the weekend.
Scarborough Athletic have confirmed that a “number of individuals” were ejected from Monday afternoon's National League North match against Darlington Athletic amid alleged misogynist abuse hurled at the female assistant referee during the second-half, which resulted in an almost 40-minute match delay.
Darlington FC have also released a statement imploring any spectators who witnessed Darlington fans involved in alleged “misogynistic remarks” during the first-half to come forward.
