Football Banning Orders
« on: March 01, 2012, 03:37:44 PM »
My dissertation topic will cover a section on Football Banning Orders. As some will know, the Football (Disorder) Act 2000 enabled courts to impose a banning order in the absence of conviction.

Anyway, my question - say you were told you were no longer allowed to go to Blackburn away because you'd been profiled as a potential hooligan (but had no criminal conviction to suggest you were), but you'd already booked your train and match ticket - would you be compensated by the police, because if not it almost becomes a fine by proxy. Does anyone know if there are contingencies in place? And if not, are there any examples of this happening?

Struggling to find anything on this area specifically (although there are a couple of high profile cases out there which have helped).

Thanks.

Are you asking for people who this has happened to or is this a test?

Must admit. The way things are at the moment I think I might try to get a banning order. So if you see someone run across the pitch on Saturday to abuse AM. It might be me :)

I'm not 100% certain about the contingency, but I do know that they are almost impossible to police, a bloke I know has been "banned for life" from St. Andrews on two separate occasions and still goes to every home game. A ban from the ground basically just means you can't book tickets in your own name.

I know someone who is banned from VP. He attends nearly every home game with his son.

Is this the guy you pointed out to me last home game ?

No.

I hope that helps.

Throw a season ticket at him and he might end up getting the England job! 

Anything to get him out of here.

If you use twitter follow (& contact) my friend Amanda on @FSF_FairCop - she does loads of work in this area & you could even possibly get involved with some current projects running to improve policing.

I was playing poker with Ray Winstone's nephew in London a few years ago. He was most proud of his banning order from Millwall. Had it in his pocket, the tit.
