The Football Association has charged West Bromwich Albion with misconduct over crowd trouble during their FA Cup derby against Wolves.
The fourth-round fixture in January had to be stopped at The Hawthorns for more than half an hour after disorder among fans in the stands.
Wolves won the match 2-0, the first time the two teams had played in front of supporters in more than a decade.
In a post on X, the FA said: "It's alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don't behave in an improper, offensive, violent, threatening, abusive, indecent, insulting or provocative way.
"It's also alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters refrain from throwing missiles or other potentially harmful or dangerous objects towards the pitch."
West Bromwich Albion have until 20 March to respond to the charge.
