The FA is investigating claims Macclesfield boss Sol Campbell was subjected to homophobic abuse during Saturday’s game at Cheltenham.
Following the game, which Macclesfield lost 3-2, several Cheltenham fans took to social media to speak out against the "disgusting" and "horrendous" alleged incidents.
It is understood the FA has now opened an investigation after being made aware of the alleged abuse.
Cheltenham released a statement on their website on Monday reminding supporters that it is against the law to shout or chant discriminatory abuse.
"Under the Equality Act 2010 it is an offence to make reference to the above protected characteristics in abusive terms and doing so could lead to arrest and prosecution," the statement read.
Cheltenham said the club were also "undertaking a thorough review of matchday operations in line with its Equality Policy". Supporters have been urged to report any such abuse "to the nearest steward as quickly as possible".
The statement concluded: "Please assist us in making the Jonny-Rocks Stadium a place where everyone can watch football without having to endure discriminatory abuse."
The 44-year-old had seen his side win their previous two league games before losing at Cheltenham.
The Silkmen are currently second from bottom of the table and are away at promotion-chasing Mansfield on Saturday.
