An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed an action plan, £15,000 fine and warning on Millwall FC for misconduct in relation to crowd control during its FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace FC on Saturday 1 March.
It was alleged that Millwall FC failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don’t use words or behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting way with either express or implied reference to sexual orientation during both the 5th and 20th minutes.
Millwall FC admitted the charges, and the Regulatory Commission imposed the club’s sanctions following a hearing. The Regulatory Commission’s written reasons for its decisions can be read below.
