Gillingham 0 Newport 2: Cheye Alexander at fault for two penalties that Omar Bogle converts in League 2 match at Priestfield | Spectator arrested and issued lifetime ban after first-half incident

28.10.2023 - 20:23 kentonline.co.uk

Gillingham were beaten by lowly Newport after conceding two penalties and there was trouble off the pitch too. Striker Omar Bogle converted both spot-kicks for the visitors, but there was a delay in restarting the match when the first was scored, after alleged racist abuse was aimed towards the goalscorer from the home end.

There was widespread condemnation and anger following the incident at Priestfield from within the stands as a spectator was led away by the stewards.

The Gills were quick to dish out an immediate lifetime ban to an individual who they announced had been arrested. Kent Police later said a man in his 20s was taken into police custody following a report of racist abuse.

Gills were recently handed a fine by the FA and told to implement an action plan to eradicate abuse inside the stadium. That came after three incidents last season, involving racist and sexist comments.
