One of the GFC fans is said to have hurled racist abuse at a coach from Sutton Commons Rovers during a match at Footes Lane on Saturday.
“Guernsey Football Club condemns all forms of discrimination,” said a spokesperson for the club, whose Manager Tony Vance has publicly said he wants to move on from incident.
“We were made aware of an incident at today’s game which was quickly dealt with and the person was removed from the ground.”
