Barry Norman Hutchinson, 49, pleaded guilty to racist or obscene chanting under the Football Offences Act 1991 during the Magpies' 0-0 derby draw at Middlesbrough on November 29. His 23-year-old son, Andrew Barry Hutchinson, denies the same charge. Hutchinson Sr was fined £270 with £45 costs, but escaped a banning order which would have prevented him attending games anywhere in the country. Middlesbrough and the FA expressed concern that their hard-line policies had not been supported.
