BARNSLEY FC HAS BEEN FINED £30,000 AND ORDERED TO IMPLEMENT AN ACTION PLAN

Barnsley FC has been fined £30,000 and ordered to implement an action plan for breaching FA Rule E20 during its EFL League One fixture against Bristol Rovers FC on Tuesday 16 August 2022.

Barnsley FC admitted failing to ensure that its spectators – and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers – conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using improper, abusive and insulting words that included a reference, whether express or implied, to gender in the 50th minute.

An independent Regulatory Commission imposed these sanctions during a hearing and its written reasons for them can be seen below.
