“Our thoughts are with the fans involved. Updates to come.”
They then offered an update twenty minutes later to confirm the match had been abandoned, saying: “Match abandoned. Due to a medical emergency, we need to inform both fans that today’s game has been abandoned. Updates to follow.”

Slough led 4-2 before the game was abandoned in the 70th minute due to an emergency in the National League South game.
Slough City player manager Scott Davies confirmed the fan was fine “after five minutes” and appeared to imply the game should not have been stopped.
He wrote: “Firstly the fan is fine and was fine after 5 minutes. But how far will some people go to win a game when under pressure…
“Then there’s us just enjoying our season without any pressure. The dignity is still intact in our end, as it always will be! 👊🏼”
Bath City Supporters Club joined hundreds of fans at X in wishing the individual a speedy recovery.
The account read: “Sending our thoughts and strength to the person involved.”
The fans of both clubs shared their support. One wrote: “Thoughts and prayers go out to the fan and their family. Football doesn’t matter at this time.”
A fellow fan posted: “I hope all is well.”
Another fan wrote: “I hope the fan is ok.”
While a Slough Town fan wrote: “This is not a good hope for a person to be ok. 🙏”
