The @footballvhomophobia.com campaign says it is “deeply concerned” by new statistics on homophobia in grassroots football and the lack of charging of perpetrators.
FA data shows homophobia in grassroots football rose by more than 35% last season.

Tony Powell, a former English top flight star, vanished 40 years ago. His story is told in The Last Guest at the Holloway Motel.

@sportsmedialgbt.comReposted by @footballvhomophobia.com@footballvhomophobia.comThere are now more charges and more proven charges for homophobia than for any other type of discrimination at this level.
FvH believes more training and investment is needed if the aim of creating “a game for everyone” is to be met.
Read the statement and see key stats and data.

A look at the media coverage shows a markedly mixed picture. How newsworthy is a story about discrimination these days?
@footballvhomophobia.comHull City fined £30,000 by The FA for homophobic chanting by a section of supporters in last season’s FA Cup tie v Chelsea, and issued with an action plan.
