Barnsley and Cardiff fined by FA for conduct

BOTH Barnsley FC and Cardiff City have been fined by the FA following their conduct at Oakwell earlier this month.

Barnsley have been fined £12,000 and Cardiff £10,000 for breaching FA rule E20.1.

An FA spokesperson said: “It was alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or club officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour, following the end of the fixture.

“Barnsley FC admitted its charge.

“Cardiff City FC denied its charge, but an independent regulatory commission subsequently found it proven and imposed an appropriate sanction on both clubs.”
