As Barnsley Football Club attempt to identify the lone “supporter” who chanted vile songs about the death of Doncaster striker Billy Sharp’s two day old son, it has emerged one Reds fan was arrested during the 2-0 defeat at the Keepmoat Stadium for racial abuse.
This arrest was one of four made during the course of the afternoon by South Yorkshire police. Two of the arrests were for affray- one by a Barnsley supporter and one by a Rovers fan- whilst the fourth was for ticket touting.
There were no reports of crowd trouble before, during or after the game, but one Barnsley fan was issued with a section 27 notice to leave Doncaster after he was reported to be making a nuisance of himself in the town centre.
