Sadly, no...according to this report on Beyond Radio...

Akinfenwe got some serious very vocal racial verbal abuse at The Mazuma when Shrimps played Wycombe last season.

I think you’re mistaken... there was a chant that wasn’t very ‘PC’ but it definitely wasn’t racial in nature.

I doubt that Akinfenwe would have singled out had it not been for the colour of his skin.

It was a chant about being a ‘sex offender’ - can you not think of any other reason why Akinfenwa would be ‘singled out’ for this chant…

I would suggest that the undeserved obscene chant, which was repeated several times during the Wycombe game towards Akinfenwa, and could be heard at the other end of the ground [I was at the the far end of the Berlin Wall] could easily be construed as a racist chant. As it was chanted by many more than 'one prick' and will have been heard by a lot of decent folk, many from Wycombe, I reckon that Morecambe's excellent reputation may have been put to the test and noticed.
I apologise for spelling Akinfenwa's name incorrectly.

I accept that many would have found the chant offensive but Akinfenwa was ‘targeted’ because his surname rhymes with ‘offender’. If there were a player called ‘Steven Fender’, he’d be just as likely to have been subject to the same chant. Honestly can’t see any ‘racism’ angle here…

It’s not a chant I like but no racism there.

But its a poor man and wife (Morecambe Fans) who have been slaughtered on social media for something that never even happened !!!
It will be an utter disgrace if EVATT gets away with this but because Bolton are a so called big club he probably will
I am glad this has been dealt with by the police and the proper outcome has been reached but the one thing i hope for now is that Mr and Mrs Baines get a proper apology from the powers that be
