Chelsea fans tell FA to 'update rule book' after supporters left 'unwelcome' by chants

Nottingham Forest's LGBT+ supporters' group have hit out at their own club's fans after homophobic chants could be heard at their draw with Chelsea, with Blues fans calling on the FA to update their rule book.

The LGBTQ+ Trickies have admitted they have been left feeling unwelcome after the 'Chelsea rent boy' chant was sung at the City Ground on Sunday. Last January, Mirror Football revealed that the chant had been classed as a homophobic hate crime by the Crown Prosecution Service.
