Town and Charlton Accept FA Charge - Ipswich Town News
Town and Charlton will not be appealing an FA charge of failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
The charge relates to the melee late on in the 1-0 victory at the Valley on Saturday which led to yellow cards for Frank Nouble and Michael Morrison.
The clubs had until 6pm on Thursday to contest the charge but a Town spokesman told TWTD that the Blues would not be launching an appeal, while Charlton have announced that they will be taking the same approach. Both clubs are likely to receive fines.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
