Hammers punished after incident in February
Club plans to ban supporters if identified
West Ham United have been fined £120,000 for homophobic chanting by supporters during their 2-1 Premier League loss at Chelsea on 3 February, the Football Association said on Friday.
“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,” the FA said in a statement, adding it had also imposed an action plan on the club.
