Hull Confirm Arrests After Discriminatory Chanting During Chelsea Defeat
Hull City A.F.C.
February 2026
The club said supporters were arrested after homophobic chanting was heard in the stands, with the public address system warning that discriminatory chanting is a criminal offence. Announcements were made during the match to stop the chant and warn of enforcement. A later update confirmed detentions. The prosecution service has previously classified a key lyric tied to male sex workers as a homophobic slur, enabling charges.
