The club are asking anyone who can help to call or email them.

The club added that it "...disassociates itself with completely with these so-called City fans. They are not welcome at the club and will not be tolerated".

"We want watching Exeter City - at home or away - to be an abuse-free experience," the statement added.

City had two black players in their squad for the match. Striker Richard Logan played the full 90 minutes while Emmanuel Panther was an unused substitute.
