Stoke City and Hull City have both been fined by the Football Association after a mass confrontation at the end of their Championship game last month. The Tigers came from a goal down to claim a 2-1 win at the Potters in November and a number of players and staff members clashed after the final whistle, leading Stoke to put an announcement over the public address system telling players to leave the field. Both clubs admitted a charge of failing to ensure their players did not act in an improper/provocative way. Stoke have been fined £25,000 and Hull £50,000 after an independent regulatory commission hearing. The Tigers' fine is larger as it is their fourth breach in the past 12 months.
