Cambridge manager Mark Bonner condemned the “unacceptable” booing of his players taking a knee on Tuesday, when a fan was ejected for the same behaviour at fellow League Two side Exeter.
The return of a limited number of fans in to watch professional football was marred in the first weekend back by the conduct of some fans at the English Football League matches hosted by Millwall and Colchester.
The Football Association launched an investigation after players were booed for taking a knee in those games on December 5, while there were more such incidents in League Two on Tuesday evening.
CAMBRIDGE have told the supporters who booed players taking a knee at Tuesday’s League Two clash with Colchester they “are not welcome” at the club and face a ban.
