Bigtoe Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 So you get a bit rowdy in town after a few sherberts and you've watched the england game...the pigs then slap a banning order on you Set of c??cks Drunken yobs in red card warningBy Ed Chadwick World Cup troublemakers could be banned from attending games LOUTS who cause trouble in Bolton town centre during the World Cup are being warned they face being banned from attending matches in the future. Police are warning troublemakers that they could face football banning orders for violence and disorder in the town during the tournament, which starts in Germany tomorrow. The orders are usually reserved for hooligans who wreak havoc in and around football grounds but police in Bolton say drunken yobs spilling from the town's pubs after crunch games will be targeted. Police in the town were the first in the country to obtain a football banning order for offences while a tournament was being played in another country during the 2002 World Cup in Japan. The lunchtime finish to England's game against Argentina in June, 2002 saw police pelted with bottles in Bradshawgate when pubs closed during the day. PC Gary Lee, licensing officer for Bolton, said: "If we perceive that any disorder committed in Bolton during the next five weeks is football related, those responsible face being banned. "We obtained a banning order against one individual for disorder during the 2002 World Cup and we are more experienced at using the orders. "If somebody causes trouble after coming out of a bar where the football has been showing and they appear to us to have been a problem because of the football we will not hesitate to apply for a banning order." A football banning order bans an individual from all football grounds in the UK for between three and five years and from travelling abroad when England are playing. Anybody subject to an order would have to report to a police station on match days and would have to surrender their passports to police ahead of football tournaments stopping them from leaving the country even for a holiday. A total of 3,286 hooligans including 43 Bolton Wanderers fans are banned from travelling to Germany for this summer's tournament. On the evenings of each of England's matches, police numbers in Bolton town centre will be similar to that of a Friday or Saturday night. A mobile TV screen will also be in the town centre tomorrow night to coincide with the first game of the World Cup to warn people to drink responsibly. A crackdown on booze-fuelled nuisance in the town during the championships could see rowdy fans issued with ??80 on-the-spot-fines or facing arrest. PC Lee said pubs across the town had been advised not to run drinks promotions and to ensure food was on sale to customers who were drinking throughout the day during the World Cup. "We welcome people coming to the town centre to enjoy watching the football and we are aware that spirits will run high," added PC Lee. "We hope that people will think twice about their behaviour. "We have also asked licensees in the town to make sure that they act responsibly." Laura Miseo, Bolton Town Centre Ltd's night-time economy manager, said a meeting had been held with licensees last week. "We are expecting the nights when England play to be like a normal, busy Friday or Saturday in town," she said. "We have reminded licensees of their obligations and we are looking forward to the next few weeks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted June 9, 2006 Site Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2006 Football banning orders - a more direct route to a conviction. Always going to be your word against theirs. Beats me how they can decide someone who kicks off on Bradshawgate has kicked off for football related reasons. I see lads kicking off because thay can't enjoy a drink without needing to prove to the world what a hard bast??rd he is. (Usually against a much smaller lad I might add!) Football isn't the problem, people's inability to drink without becoming violent is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Uncle_Northy Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 ragging scandal !!!! Its about time the british police force started to do their ragging jobs proper !!! instead of taking passports off blokes and ''threatning banning orders '' on fellas out for a pint too watch the match. they should concentrate on cleaning the streets of britain from muggers ,theives , muderers , chavs, cunting illegal immigrants .

Guest as Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 This is a Nazi nation now, you'll need ragging ID badges to buy cigs and booze from the shop in 10 years. The national curfews will be in place before then though. I was on Bradshawgate playing footie a few year back, and I was there when the coppers decided to stand right in front of a load of celebrathing England fans, knowing full well they'd get a reaction And I'l be in town tomorrow for the game, it's not like I've got kiddies at home to worry about :D/ PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 In '93 after the Preston game the cops closed down Bradshawgate and let us celebrate outside the Swan. Then again we were a better class of hooligan in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
