Burnley FC has agreed to investigate an alleged anti-Semitic comment made by a former chairman amid calls from Jewish leaders for a stand to be renamed.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said Bob Lord made "disgraceful" remarks in a speech at a club in 1974.
The Bob Lord Stand at Turf Moor is dedicated to the businessman who ran the club from 1955 until 1981, the year he died.
The club said it takes racism, bigotry or hate crimes "extremely seriously".
The comments were allegedly made by Mr Lord during a dinner at a variety club in 1974.
