I absolutely agree, 100%. And as he's now claiming there were multiple incidents of racial abuse, and/or loud enough that multiple players heard the abuse, it really must be clearly loud enough that the fourth official heard it, as he was stood right next to Evatt. I think we must rely upon the fourth official and what he reported, as the only truly independent person there.
What did the fourth official hear?
Did the fourth official accurately identify the abusive person?
Has the fourth official reported what he heard to the police and to the club?
If the fourth official didn't hear the racial abuse, how is that explained?
Also,
Did the fourth official hear the allegations of Bolton players and/or management using 'foul & abusive language' towards members of the crowd?
Have any spectators who claim they were abused, made counter claims against Bolton officials or players?
Obviously, these are rhetorical questions that I don't want speculating on here, only answering when official statements are released.
On a side-note, I would really like to know, are Morecambe police investigating the assault on a disabled fan as a "hate crime" (as it is defined by the Crown Prosecution Service)? If not, why not?

Nobody would want to go to work and have people a couple of yards away calling you nasty names. How can it be re-designed and altered ?

Relocating the row just above the dug outs in C Premier and the installation of a clear roof over the dug outs could be an answer
ALSO
the relocation of the dug outs to the opposite side ie Berlin Wall but that will require both management teams and their match day subs / back room staff walking across the pitch..which is no big deal but can't see any other way to rectify the current problem assuming that there is a problem....
