Police continue to investigate alleged racist abuse at Bolton Wanderers v Morecambe match

A man arrested following an alleged racist incident during Bolton Wanderers' match at Morecambe has been released under investigation.

Wanderers host Morecambe at the University of Bolton Stadium tonight (Tuesday March 8) but last month's reverse fixture at Morecambe FC's Mazuma Stadium was suspended for 10 minutes and both sets of players were taken off the pitch following the allegations of racist abuse directed towards the Bolton dugout.

A 61-year-old from Morecambe was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order and bailed. His bail expired on March 6, Lancashire Police confirmed, so he has now been released but remains under police investigation.
