1"It did break me that game.""I had a tear in my eye, whilst I'm playing."Ebbsfleet United goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore speaks to @JimWhite on the abuse he has received as a footballer. pic.twitter.com/QWeuan0GWC— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 10, 2019Ashmore hit the headlines this season when he jumped over the advertising boards in Ebbsfleets match at Boreham Wood in the National League to confront fans who had been abusing him during the game.Boreham Wood issued a statement following the incident apologising to Ashmore after supporters allegedly called him a nonce.The 28-year-old suffered further alleged abuse on Saturday during Ebbsfleets 3-3 draw with Chesterfield and an investigation was launched after a supporter allegedly kicked the goalkeeper.Chesterfield came back from 3-0 down to score a stoppage time equaliser, which saw several home fans invade the pitch.
Shocking from #spireites celebrating their goal. Never seen anything like this at a football game before #EUFC #NonLeague #Fleet #ChesterfieldFC https://t.co/zlmmNzJuSx pic.twitter.com/tJkvaH0BDu— Nathan Holt (@NathanHoltYt) January 5, 2019Ashmore said: I lost the love of the game, I really did, and it really did hurt. I suffered quite badly at home. I didnt sleep.I was getting messages. Even from the stuff that was happening at the weekend. I went on my phone and I got the message you nonce.Everything is personal on my Twitter account and Instagram. But even if they can still send you messages you have to accept it. Even if you want to delete it you still see the message before you delete it.For a neutral it was a great game. I was subjected to loads of abuse through the second half. We were 3-0 up and Chesterfield were chasing the game. We conceded one goal early in the second half and the crowd get into it.I think at 3-1 I will time waste. As you do as a keeper. It is called game management. Every keeper does it and every club in the world does it.Its what you have to do to break the game down. Its not cheating.The crowd dont like this and I get fouled and I get subjected to more abuse.When they scored to make it 3-3 all carnage broke loose.Chesterfield issued a statement following the match saying they will be fully co-operating with a Derbyshire Police and FA investigation.
I was a coach at Ebbsfleet United when I first met @ashmore77 and so to hear about the vile, racist abuse he receives sickens me. Thank you for opening up about this on @talkSPORT today, but yet again, club/league officials have missed a chance to stand by a player live on air.— O S E I (@OseiSankofa) January 10, 2019The statement said: Incidents which occurred towards the end of todays game against Ebbsfleet United are not acceptable to Chesterfield Football Club and the club condemns the conduct of a minority of supporters.The club will fully co-operate with Derbyshire Police and the FA investigation which is now underway. The implications for the club are very serious and an appeal is made to supporters to not engage in matters of pitch encroachment at any time. There have also been a number of serious allegations relating to racial abuse and physical contact involving opposition players.The club intends to deal with these matters strongly and as and when individuals are identified, banning orders will be issued. We would urge anyone with information about the incidents to contact the club. All communication will be dealt with on a confidential basis.
