Haringey players walk off after racism allegations in Yeovi

[jdl]

Not Stones, I know, but if I put it on the Non-Stones page hardly anyone will read it, and I thought it deserved more attention than that:

What happens to the match now - replay?

What are the rules (if any) for abandoning a match under these circumstances?

A sad incident, but good to see the solidarity shown by Yeovil players and manager. Will be interesting to see how the FA handle this

Probably a replay with no away fans allowed.

If it’s true that the Yeovil fans did cause this, then Yeovil should forfeit the game.  But if they take the initiative and put that suggestion forward themselves they’ll emerge with some credit from a bad situation

Two arrests in Somerset relating to this, good work by the Met / Avon & Somerset Peelers:

A bit simplistic to equate arrests with guilt, and thus "good work". But a positive sign nonetheless.
