BLACKBURN Rovers and Blackpool have each been fined £5,000 after accepting an FA charge of failing to control their players in last month's fiery Lancashire derby draw at Bloomfield Road.
Rovers striker DJ Campbell and Blackpool defender Jack Robinson were sent off following a 21-man brawl.
A statement from the FA reads: "Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers have each been fined the standard penalty of £5,000 after admitting a breach of FA Rule E20(a) in relation to their game on 26 October 2013.
"Both clubs were charged with failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in or around the 85th minute of this fixture."
