Hull Metropolis have been charged by the Soccer Affiliation over discriminatory chanting of their FA Cup defeat by Chelsea in February.
Spectators have been warned over the PA system late within the first half of the match, on the MKM Stadium and that CCTV inside the bottom was being monitored.

The FA alleged the membership “failed to make sure its spectators and/or supporters (and anybody purporting to be supporters) don’t use phrases or behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent or insulting method with a reference – whether or not specific or implied – to sexual orientation”.
Hull, on Saturday, have till Tuesday, 2 June to answer the cost.
4 males have been arrested on suspicion of offensive chanting through the tie.
Chelsea Delight, the membership’s official LGBTQ+ supporter group, stated in a press release after the match: “Tonight, homophobic chanting was as soon as once more directed at our supporters. That is completely unacceptable.

“We acknowledge that Hull Metropolis made stadium bulletins, confirmed CCTV was being monitored and that arrests have been made. Motion issues. Accountability issues. Penalties matter.
“However allow us to be clear, the truth that this chant remains to be being heard in 2026 is a stain on our sport.”
