Norwich and Newcastle fined following FA misconduct charge

Norwich City and Newcastle United have been fined £30,000 and £20,000 respectively following an FA charge of misconduct.

The charge was that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour in or around the 82nd minute of their fixture on 28 January 2014.

Newcastle admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty of £20,000, which includes a third-off for admitting.

Norwich, who had a similar breach earlier this season, denied the charge which was subsequently found proven and were fined £30,000.

Both clubs were warned as to their future conduct.
