The match officials lead both sets of players off the pitch shortly after Darlington scored their third goal.

There were reports of a cup being thrown at the players from the stand and of discriminatory language being used.

Both Sets of Fans were warned about discriminatory via the tannoy system.

"During the first half of the game at Scarborough, the female assistant was subject to alleged misogynistic remarks from one or two Darlington fans.

Darlington FC wholeheartedly condemns such conduct, and so if you witnessed these incidents and can help identify the culprits, then please e mail ray.simpson@darlingtonfc.org in the strictest of confidence."
