Wigan winger James McClean claimed he had been the victim of sectarian abuse during the Sky Bet Championship match at Bloomfield Road
Blackpool FC have said they will continue to work with the police and Football Association after being charged with misconduct for failing to control their crowd.
The Seasiders said they strongly condemned discriminatory language after Wigan winger James McClean claimed he had been the victim of sectarian abuse during last week’s Sky Bet Championship match at Bloomfield Road. Blackpool, who won the game 1-0, said in a statement: “Blackpool Football Club acknowledges the charge handed by The FA in relation to crowd control following the recent fixture against Wigan Athletic.
“The club strongly condemns any discriminatory language, particularly in relation to religion or race, and will continue to work alongside The FA and Lancashire Police on this matter.”The FA launched an investigation after a delay during the first half when McClean was allegedly verbally abused while taking a corner.
A statement on the FA Spokesperson Twitter account said: “Blackpool FC has been charged with misconduct in relation to crowd control following its EFL Championship game against Wigan Athletic FC on Saturday 15 April. “The club allegedly failed to ensure that its spectators – including anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers – conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and do not use words or otherwise behave in a way which is improper, offensive, abusive, indecent or insulting with either express or implied reference to religion.
