Cardiff City FC update
An independent Appeal Board has dismissed an appeal by Cardiff City FC.
It was alleged that Cardiff City FC failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) don’t use words or behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting way including a reference - whether express or implied - to sexual orientation.
Cardiff City FC admitted the charge, and the Regulatory Commission imposed an action plan, £15,000 fine and formal warning.
The club appealed against the fine, but this appeal was dismissed by the Appeal Board and its written reasons can be seen below.
