The FA introduced new regulations earlier this year enabling them to charge clubs whose fans use the offensive term "rent boy". It comes as the CPS decided to classify use of the phrase - which is a breach of FA rule E21 - as a hate crime. The Crown Prosecution Service have previously said that those who use the words are liable to face prosecution. Chelsea fans are also understood to have complained to security staff about other incidents. FA charges do not automatically follow in such cases, which can be left to the clubs involved and police to resolve. However, the previous use of the term by Forest fans at a match against Chelsea on New Year's Day may count against them. Wolves became the first club to be punished by the FA for homophobic chanting in July when they were given a £100,000 fine. The Prem outfit were hit by the fine after their "inadequate response" to rent boy chants during their Premier League game against Cheslea in April. The FA will wait until they have received reports from cops before deciding whether to take formal disciplinary action against Forest. Chants were aimed at Chelsea players at multiple grounds last season - both in the Premier League and FA Cup.){kind=link}
