West Ham fined £115,000 for Millwall cup disorder

WEST Ham have been fined £115,000 by the Football Association after being found guilty of two charges relating to crowd disturbances during their Carling Cup victory over Millwall.

The Barclays Premier League club have also been ordered to pay adjusted costs of 5,000 – but they escaped being forced to play matches behind closed doors. The violent clashes on 25 August led to 64 arrests and the stabbing of a Millwall fan outside Upton Park, and there were pitch invasions during the match. West Ham were found guilty of two charges: failure to ensure their supporters refrained from violent, threatening, obscene and provocative behaviour, and failure to ensure their supporters did not enter the field of play.
