Why Bolton Wanderers did not want to cancel Morecambe clash stopped after 'unacceptable' behaviour
06.02.2022 - 09:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ian Evatt insists Bolton Wanderers did not consider cancelling their game against Morecambe and believes his players channelled their emotions in the right way to the clash being temporarily suspended and got a point out of it.
Wanderers drew 1-1 against the Shrimps thanks to Amadou Bakayoko's late equaliser cancelled out Cole Stockton's opener, which came after Ricardo Almeida Santos was shown a red card and James Trafford had saved Stockton's subsequent penalty.
But the game was marred by off the pitch incidents, with allegations of racist abuse and spitting towards the Bolton dugout, Wanderers boss Ian Evatt said after the game.

Evatt said: “Postponing was the right thing to do temporarily. If we cancelled the game, the people that are doing these things are winning. They can’t affect society and games and everything else the way they are doing. Their behaviour is unacceptable.
