MANCHESTER City will make an official complaint to Notts County after a sexism row allegedly blew up at their weekend match.
City have claimed their director of communications Vicky Kloss was denied access to the area around the dressing rooms at Meadow Lane because she is a woman. Notts County have denied this was the reason.
Ms Kloss was attempting to make contact with manager Roberto Mancini ahead of his TV interviews before the FA Cup tie when she was told by a steward she would not be allowed into the players' tunnel.
City are to send a formal letter of complaint to County chief executive Jim Rodwell for an explanation.
Notts County have denied the claims from City, insisting Kloss was not prevented from entering the area because of her gender, but because she did not have the right pass.
A County spokesman said: "It's nothing to do with her being a woman. She was trying to get into an area without the correct accreditation."
However, it has been established that Kloss' junior colleague, who is male, had been allowed to enter the same area five minutes earlier without being asked for a pass, which he did not have anyway.
The episode came just days after Richard Keys and Andy Gray engaged in their infamous criticism of assistant referee Sian Massey at the Wolves v Liverpool game.
