Premier League clubs have been warned they face major penalties if they are unable to prevent fans singing the 'Chelsea rent boy' chant.
A landmark ruling on Friday saw Wolves fined £100,000 and placed in an action plan after being found guilty of failing to do enough to educate their supporters about the homophobic nature of the chant.
It comes after the FA informed clubs at the end of January that they could be punished if their fans were caught singing the chant
Wolves were the first club to be punished under the new guidelines. And campaign group FootballvHomophobia has now issued a warning that other teams will need to learn lessons
Jon Holmes from the group said: "It's difficult, because I understand we learn a lot from incidents, like what happened last season. There are certain clubs who when they play Chelsea, there is a higher chance that an incident will happen.
"Unless they recognise that, get out in front of it and do the education or some of the other things we've earmarked, they could end up getting a £100,000 fine. Maybe the punishment could be even harsher because we saw in the written reasons that the maximum penalty is a £300,000 fine.
"I'm sure there'll be people who thought the fine is a drop in the ocean for a multi-million pound Premier League club that's raking in huge amounts of revenue. But I see it more as reputational damage
"That's something we've mentioned, there's the potential for both financial and reputational damage. I don't think any club want to be associated with that, certainly Wolves wouldn't."
