Wrexham, Bristol Rovers Fined for Brawl

Both Bradford City and Crewe Alexandra have been fined by the Football Association after a mass brawl during their League Two match on December 7. Bradford was fined £2,750 while Crewe received a £1,000 penalty, as both clubs admitted to failing to control their players. Meanwhile, Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, was also fined £6,000 for their involvement in a post-match altercation following a 1-1 draw against Bristol Rovers on December 21. Bristol Rovers were fined £3,500 for the same incident, which marked Wrexham's third disciplinary action this season for player misconduct. The FA stated that both clubs did not ensure their players behaved properly, leading to the sanctions imposed by an independent regulatory commission. The incidents highlight ongoing issues with player conduct in competitive matches.
