WYCOMBE WANDERERS forward Adebayo Akinfenwa has taken to social media claiming he was racially abused by a small section of Cambridge United fans during their 2-1 win on Saturday.

Akinfenwa made the claim not long after the match at the Abbey Stadium had finished. He tweeted: "Good 3pts 2day, great support again. It's a shame that a small group of Cambridge fans focus on colour rather than the game #KickOutRacism."

One Cambridge fan wrote back to the striker on Twitter, saying he was disgusted to hear that and there was no place in football for it. Akinfenwa added that he hasn't been subjected to racism in the game before.

A spokesman for Wycombe Wanderers said: "Wycombe Wanderers have offered their full co-operation to Cambridge United in their investigation into racist abuse during Saturday's fixture at the Cambs Glass Stadium.

"The two clubs will work together to ensure appropriate action is taken against a small number of home supporters who are alleged to have made racist remarks to Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa in the first half of the match."

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Kerridge, of the Cambridgeshire Constabulary, said: “We are working closely with Cambridge United and Wycombe Wanderers to identify the people involved.

“The behaviour that has been alleged against a small minority is at odds with the core community and family-orientated principles of the club. It is totally incompatible with the spirit of tolerance and diversity for which the city of Cambridge is known.”

Anyone with information on this incident should call 101 and ask to speak to DC Chris McLoughlin.
