Kettering Town's director of football has declared that the club can no longer hide behind what he called "the comforting lie" that racist abuse comes from only a small minority of supporters.

The comments were reported by BBC Sport England on November 9, 2026, with journalist Kris Holland noting the director's insistence that the problem must be addressed directly.

The National League North side has faced scrutiny over incidents of racial abuse, and the director's statement signals a shift in the club's public stance on the issue.
