Doncaster Rovers said: “Rovers are aware of two arrests made at the game on Boxing Day for alleged racist behaviour.

“As a club we abhor racism in any form and will work closely with Peterborough United and Cambridgeshire police as required to support any police action.

“We take a zero tolerance approach to such issues and would expect to issue a substantial club ban to anyone proven to have acted in such a manner as well as require them to complete some educational actions before attending any Rovers games.”

The nature of the alleged racist behaviour was not stated.
