Nottingham Forest FC appeal partially upheld
An independent Appeal Board has partially upheld an appeal by Nottingham Forest FC in relation to a breach of FA Rule E20.1.
The FA charged Nottingham Forest FC and Chelsea FC with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following the mass confrontation at their Premier League fixture on Sunday 6 October 2024. It was alleged that they failed to ensure their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 88th minute, and both clubs accepted this charge.
Nottingham Forest FC subsequently appealed against its sanction. The Appeal Board partially upheld this appeal and reduced the club’s fine to £112,000 following a hearing.
The Appeal Board’s written reasons for its decisions can be read below.
