Birmingham have been fined £25,000 by the FA following pitch invasions by their fans during September's St Andrew's derby against Aston Villa.
Supporters came onto the pitch following every goal in Birmingham's 3-0 victory, and the club were later pleaded guilty to charges of failing to protect players and officials plus failing to control encroachment on to the pitch.
One fan was later sentenced to four months in jail after confronting Villa keeper Peter Enckelman after he had blundered to gift the Blues their second goal of the night.
The fine means that Birmingham have avoided the threat of a possible points deduction. FA officials have warned the club as to future conduct.
