SPORTING KHALSA goalkeeper Ravan Constable has condemned the racial abuse he received during a match against Hereford FC at the weekend.

The match at Khalsa’s Guardian Warehousing Arena in Willenhall on Saturday was abandoned in the second half following the abuse, which reportedly came from Hereford FC’s supporters. Hereford FC released a statement saying that two of their fans have received banning orders pending investigation from the West Midlands police.

Goalie Constable released a statement on X saying that he was “emotional and angry … I was subject to racist abuse that no-one should ever have to face. Discrimination or hatred because of who they are.

“Racism has no place in our game. Thanks to all of my teammates and staff at Sporting Khalsa, and also the people of Hereford FC, for their support.”

Khalsa manager Ian Rowe said after the match that he was angry following the incident and that racists “were not welcome at the club.”

He said: “As a club, obviously, we’ve had to face barriers and hurdles. I’ve certainly been on my journey since I’ve been at the club.

“I was proud of [the players] because they all backed Ravan and made sure, duty of care, he was looked after and he was OK first and foremost.

“As I’ve said previously, you can never [legislate] for today’s idiot … [racists are] not welcome at our club.

“Do not attend. Kick it out, kick them out.”
