“The group were also extremely abusive to the players and staff on the bus. The boys are believed to be aged between 16 and 18 and one was wearing blue shorts with a grey hoodie. He is approximately 5ft 11 and of a skinny build.

“Both we and the club are scanning CCTV to find these individuals but I would encourage them to come forward before we find them by speaking with Lincolnshire Police. If this was you, please accept responsibility and call 101.

“We also encourage fans and residents to report information to us. Although this has been caused by a minority it reflects badly on the city and fans, the vast majority of who behave impeccably every game.

“Again please call Lincolnshire Police if you can help or report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
