A non-league football club in Bucks will be boycotting social media over the Bank Holiday Weekend due to online racism.

Aylesbury United, who currently ground share with Chesham United, will not use any of their platforms in Twitter, Facebook and Instagram from 3pm on Friday, April 30 to 11.59am Monday, May 3.

This is due to players who play at all levels across the country being racially abused through the internet.
