West Ham United FC sanctioned
An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed an action plan, £120,000 fine and warning upon West Ham United FC for misconduct in relation to crowd control during its Premier League fixture against Chelsea FC on Monday 3 February.
It was alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) did not behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent or insulting way with either an express or implied reference to sexual orientation.
West Ham United FC subsequently admitted the charge. The Regulatory Commission imposed the club's sanctions following a hearing and its written reasons for them can be read below.
