2003/04 Jail for derby football hooligans Violent clashes took place before and after Portsmouth's 1-0 win over Southampton at their home ground of Fratton Park on 21 March. A total of 32 people have so far been charged over the disturbance. All 10 were given jail terms of between nine and 18 months after admitting violence. They were also banned from games for between six and seven years. During the clashes, a 300-strong mob targeted police officers, looted shops and attacked vehicles. Police camera footage caught the violence before and after the match It was the worst attack on police officers in Portsmouth's history, Portsmouth Crown Court heard on Wednesday. Two people, including a BBC cameraman, needed hospital treatment after the game. Steven Cheung, 32, of Portsmouth, was singled-out in court for inciting the mob. He was pictured on police cameras leading a crowd advancing on police. The judge said the scale of the violent disorder was huge and had been sustained over a long period, despite 400 police officers on duty that day. Many of those involved in the clashes would call themselves football supporters, he said, but few had actually been to the match. |

2002/03 Hooligans jailed for Cardiff violence Eight Cardiff City football hooligans have been jailed for taking part in violent scenes which erupted after a crucial play-off defeat. Stones, bricks, wood, bottles, street furniture and a car windscreen were thrown outside Ninian Park after the Bluebirds' 2-0 defeat to Stoke in on May 1. With the home side's hope of promotion shattered by an extra-time goal, a group of at least 600 fans tried to reach visiting supporters and later attacked police officers and horses. Hooliganism figures from Home Office Arrests at Cardiff games: 129 Cardiff fans' banning orders: 125 Arrests at Swansea games: 7 Arrests at Wrexham games: 11 Ten defendants, who had all earlier pleaded guilty to violent disorder, were banned on Friday from attending football matches. Eight were jailed while the remaining two were handed community punishment orders. Cardiff City were looking for promotion to Division One and had won the first play-off leg 2-1 at Stoke. With the second-leg aggregate score level after 90 minutes, the sides played extra time, when Stoke won the tie with a 115th-minute free kick to beat Cardiff 3-2. It sent the visiting fans into ecstasy while the expectant Bluebirds support was distraught. Police attacked Cardiff Crown Court heard 600 to 1,000 Cardiff fans tried to reach the section of Stoke supporters. Prosecuting, Christopher Williams explained how the men - one of whom was already banned from attending games - were part of the resulting melee around Sloper Road and Leckwith Road. "Countless missiles were thrown. It must have been terrifying for anyone who saw it. The police officers were certainly very frightened. "Many of the horses were punched and kicked and dozens of officers were injured. "One was knocked out when a brick was thrown at him and smashed his helmet." The officer missed work for a week and still suffers continual headaches, he claimed. Hooligans 'unacceptable' Judge Christopher Llewellyn-Jones viewed video tapes of the events, including a police van being violently rocked. He said custodial sentences were necessary to show hooliganism was unacceptable. "People must know that if they are going to leave a football ground and indulge in this sort of behaviour they are going to go to prison... "...in the hope that it might bring home the message that the public will not tolerate this kind of behaviour. "Members of the public as well as police officers were frightened, if not terrified, by your behaviour. "Regrettably, actions of your sort bring the footballing public and supporters into disrepute." Three of the gang were sentenced to jail for 18 months:- Anthony Lewis, 39, of Griffiths Street, Maerdy Ryan Gill, 26, of Tyntyla Park, Tonypandy Christopher Jenkins, 42, of Pengwern Road, Ely, Cardiff Others were sent to a young offenders' institution:- Christoper Carnell, 19, of Garth Road, Trealaw (18 months) Nicholas Carter, 19, of St Mary's Street, Bargoed (eight months) Matthew Lewis, 19, of Avondale Court, Porth (12 months) Two 17-year-olds were given eight month detention and training orders. Two others received community punishment orders:- Alex Pauline, 18, of Glyncolli Road, Treorchy (120 hours) A 16-year-old who was not named (80 hours) The eight men who were jailed were banned for six years from going within 2,000 metres of any regulated football match five hours before kick off and five hours after the final whistle. They must also surrender their passports in connection with any match outside England or Wales. The pair who were sentenced to community service were given three-year bans. It follows the controversy over scenes at Ninian Park after Cardiff City knocked Leeds United out of the FA Cup in January. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/2271859.stm |

2003/04 'Disgraceful' hooligans jailed It follows violent clashes between 24 Port Vale and Wrexham fans outside the Racecourse ground last October. The fans, mostly Port Vale supporters, admitted public order offences at a hearing at Mold Crown Court on Tuesday. Three Wrexham fans Mark Williams, 33, Kevin Belmont, 38, and Jake Longworth,19, admitted affray. Belmont and Williams, both from Wrexham were jailed for nine months and Longworth from Coedpoeth was sentenced to six months at a young offenders institute. A further 12 Port Vale fans were ordered to carry out community punishment work. The three Wrexham fans and 21 Port Vale supporters also face bans from matches and will have to observe an exclusion zone around grounds where their teams are playing for between three and six years. "Members of the public on the streets or in their own houses would have been truly terrified by the scale of the public disorder," said Judge Roger Dutton, who described the episode as "disgraceful". "It is a curious feature of football that there should be violence on this scale, other sporting events do not attract this kind of trouble." Earlier, prosecutor Andrew Jebb told Mold Crown Court that trouble broke out after the game last October, which Wrexham had won 2-1. Kevin Belmont 38, who has no previous convictions, was first seen in video evidence to be near to the front of a group of Wrexham fans. Describing video evidence to the court, prosecutor Andrew Jebb said: "It is obvious that the Wrexham fans have seen the Port Vale fans and are now looking for a gap in the houses so that a violent confrontation can take place. "In his hurry to become involved, Belmont barges an elderly man out of the way and then enters the alleyway where violence has started." A special two-day session was held at Mold Interviewed, Belmont said that he had drunk about eight or nine pints beforehand and did not go to the match, but spent the time at a pub not far from the stadium. He then headed to the ground after the match. Shown video footage of his behaviour, Belmont said: "What I've just seen now totally disgusts me." The court was also shown footage of Mark Williams, 33, who had previous convictions and was in breach of a previous banning order imposed in November 2000. He was seen making provocative gestures towards the Port Vale fans and was involved in the attack on the lone fan from the visiting club, punching him three times. Shown the video, he admitted his part in the trouble. Longworth 19, was also involved in the violence in the alleyway and threw a missile at the Port Vale fans. He became involved in the group attack on a lone visiting fan who had become trapped in the alleyway. Bricks and pieces of wood were hurled between rival fans, and possibly even garden gnomes from local gardens. A number of Port Vale fans forced open gates at the rear of a house in Mold Road, armed themselves with pieces of brick, and began to throw missiles in an attempt to hit Wrexham fans as they left the ground. |

2002/03 Fans banned after violence Police in Cumbria have welcomed a court decision banning five Carlisle football hooligans from every ground in Britain. Five men admitted charges of disorder at Carlisle United's first home match against Hartlepool in August 2002. Cumbria Crown Court ordered the five to be banned from every UK football ground and also from following the England national team abroad for three years. Andrew McGarvey, 34, Paul Lamonby, 25, Jason Harkness 32, Malcolm Shaftoe, 27, and 31-year-old Carl Hull, who are all from Carlisle, were also sentenced to between 100 and 200 hours' community punishment order and each have to pay £120 costs. They were involved in violence which erupted as fans walked from the match at Carlisle Brunton Park ground. The police were forced to use CS gas spray and batons to try to contain the situation. Detective Constable Ian Hodgson of Cumbria Police welcomed the sentencing and said it sent out " a strong message" to other hooligans. At Carlisle Crown Court on Thursday, Judge Barbara Forrester said it had been "a terrifying experience for people who witnessed the violence". She added: You are all old enough to know better." Recently Carlisle was rated the third worst club in the league for violence. A spokesman for Carlisle United said the club was working closely with the police and the Football Intelligence Unit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/2968956.stm |
