Cardiff City's board members will boycott Tuesday's Championship game at Wigan in protest at what they allege to be a club owned and managed by racists.
At least two members of the board were planning to travel but owner Vincent Tan has instructed them not to and they are said to support his position.
Wigan owner Dave Whelan, who had his leg broken in the 1960 FA Cup Final but doesn't like talking about it, was fined £50,000 for making racist comments about Jewish and Chinese people.
He also served a six-week ban from all football-related activity.
However, a Football Association disciplinary commission said it was "satisfied" Whelan "is not a racist" and did not intend to cause offence.
The 78-year-old's comments were made as he defended the appointment of Malky Mackay as the new Latics manager in November.
Mackay is currently under investigation by the FA regarding allegations he sent "sexist, racist and homophobic" text messages during his time in charge of Cardiff.
The Scot admitted sending offensive messages and apologised, adding that he is not racist, sexist, homophobic or anti-Semitic.
Mackay was sacked by the Bluebirds in December 2013.
