SOUTHEND United have been charged by the Football Association for surrounding a match official.
The Shrimpers confronted referee Gary Parsons before he showed Wealdstone midfielder Nathan Ferguson a straight red card for his challenge on Cav Miley.
And Blues have now been punished for their actions.
An FA statement confirmed: “It is alleged that in or around the 51st minute of the fixture, Southend United FC failed to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or do not behave in a way which is improper.
“Southend United FC admit the charge and elect a paper hearing.”
Blues have been fined £2,250 for their behaviour and Wealdstone have also been handed the same punishment.
The Shrimpers have now been charged three times for failing to control their players in the same season.
Kevin Maher’s side were fined £2,000 for confronting the match official against Barnet in March having previously been fined £1,800 for clashing with Woking last October.
