Club issue statement following the events of the FA Trophy first round tie this afternoon

Bedford Town Football Club would like to sincerely apologise to any spectators who were disappointed with the incidents that took place in today's FA Trophy match against Potters Bar Town, which resulted in the match being abandoned by the officials.

The events which occurred, involving a number of players and team officials from both ourselves and Potters Bar Town FC in the dying minutes of the match, were unacceptable and do not represent the ethos of our club. We are a community-based, family club that has high expectations of its players, staff and our opponents.

The club continue to speak with individuals from both clubs to establish more information on the events of the later stages of the fixture. We are also liaising with the Football Association with regards any evidence they need in response to the abandonment of the game.

At this time, Bedford Town FC are unable to confirm what the result will be following the abandonment of the match, with regards to the tie being replayed or standing as a 0-1 defeat. As soon as more information becomes available, we will inform all fans online and via social media.
