Notts County have expressed their "disgust" at a Tweet from the Nottingham branch of the BNP which hoped the Magpies were relegated because "they play overpaid immigrants".

The political party took to social media just hours before the club's 2-1 win against Doncaster on Saturday which crucially moved them out of League One's relegation zone.

Posted to more than 1,200 followers, the Tweet said: "Hope Notts County get relegated today - a great lesson in how to alienate the fans by playing overpaid immigrants who couldn't give a s**t."

But Notts chief executive Aileen Trew condemned the comment today with the club priding itself on trying to stamp out racism with professional bodies such as Kick It Out.

She said: "As a club, we would like to express our disgust at the views in this tweet

"Notts County have a zero tolerance stance on discrimination of any kind and deal proactively with any reports of alleged abuse.

"We will continue to work effectively with organisations such as Kick it Out to eradicate such any racist views within the game and also to promote inclusion."

Only two of Notts' 16-man matchday squad which was named against Doncaster are non-British with full-back Mustapha Dumbuya from Sierra Leone and striker Balint Bajner from Hungary.
