Exeter City boss Gary Caldwell condemned further disgraceful chanting at football grounds following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Reading, which witnessed allegations of racist abuse aimed at a Grecians player from the visiting supporters. The League One encounter at St James Park was stopped in the 74th minute by referee James Durkin, who consulted with both managers and captains alongside a steward.

An announcement subsequently echoed around the stadium, confirming an incident of discriminatory abuse had occurred. A warning then followed that any additional incidents would result in the match being abandoned. Caldwell verified after the final whistle that the abuse had originated from the away section.

This marks the second such incident in three home fixtures involving visiting supporters, after the EFL Trophy clash with Cardiff City was interrupted due to discriminatory chanting from Cardiff fans.

"Racism from the Reading end towards a player on our team," he revealed regarding the incident.

"It's going to be dealt with by the referee and they're sorting all that out now.

"But too many games are getting stopped for unacceptable chanting, unacceptable behaviour and hopefully we can kick it out.
