Pools punished by FA

Hartlepool have incurred a £2,500 fine from the Football Association after failing to control their players.

The charge relates to an incident during Pools' clash with Bournemouth on September 24 when players from both clubs were involved in a mass confrontation.

The club have indicated that they will not be appealing the fine and intend to pay it in full by the arranged date.
