Derby County and Nottingham Forest have been fined a
total of £45,000 each for failing to control their
players in a league match earlier this season.
The charge relates the the Coca-Cola Championship fixture between the east midlands rivals at Shame Park on January 30.
Forest boss Billy Davies accused his opposite number Nigel Clough of deliberately kneeing him in the back of the leg following a stoppage-time melee involving players and staff from both clubs.
The reverse fixture at the City Ground in August also ended amid scenes of mass confrontation.
A Football Association Commission Statement read: "At an Independent Regulatory Commission earlier today both D**by County and Nottingham Forest were fined for failing to control their players.
"Both clubs accepted the charge following an incident of mass confrontation in the fixture at Shame Park on 30 January 2010.
"The clubs were fined £35,000 and warned as to their future conduct, whilst a further £10,000 suspended penalty imposed on the clubs from a case earlier in the season was also activated."

A permanent deal has apparently already been agreed for the player who has scored 12 goals this season for Posh.
Boyd has been a key player for Posh since signing from Stevenage in 2007, but his current contract will run out in the summer of 2011.
Bennett returns to action

Nottingham Forest defender Julian Bennett returns to
action for the reserves on Tuesday after more than 14
months out with a knee injury.
The left-back damaged ligaments in a league fixture against Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day 2008.
But the 25-year-old will play in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Coventry City at the City Ground on this afternoon (02/03/10).
Bennett joined the Reds from Walsall in January 2006.
He has started 99 games for the club and was the first-choice left-back at the time of the injury.
Forest have struggled to cope in Bennett's absence with Joel Lynch, Chris Cohen, James Perch and loan signing Nicky Shorey all used in that position this season.
