Luton and Barnsley fined over mass confrontation

Both clubs fined £13,500 each by the FA for a mass confrontation after their October League One match.

Luton and Barnsley have each been fined £13,500 by the Football Association following a "mass confrontation" during their League One fixture in October. Luton won 2-1 at Kenilworth Road, but a melee erupted at full-time when Barnsley's Amani Richards was booked for simulation after appealing for a penalty. The FA ruled that both clubs "failed to ensure that their players and/or technical area staff did not behave in a way which was improper and/or provocative after the full-time whistle." Both sides admitted the charges, and an independent commission imposed the fines.
