England: Manchester City fans banned from football grounds for five years after derby day fracas in Hulme - 28/02/2012
Source : http://menmedia.co.uk
A group of Manchester City fans escaped prison but were slapped with match banning orders after a ‘deplorable’ pub brawl with United supporters. Paul Valente, Stephen Walsh and Thomas Waterhouse will not be able to see Roberto Mancini’s men – or any other match in the country – for five years for their part in a post-derby fracas which saw £1,500 of damage caused to Hulme’s Czech Bar. The trio were inside the Booth Street pub when a large gang of Reds fans approached following last February’s Old Trafford clash which United won, Manchester crown court heard. They began to goad and taunt their rivals through the windows as the bar’s manager, fearing trouble, desperately tried to bring the shutters down, Rachel Widdicombe, prosecuting, said: “Missiles were then launched from the United fans which smashed some of the windows. Those inside responded by hurling objects through the broken glass with terrified members of staff ducking for cover. The Reds fans ran off when police arrived. But Valente, 30, of Middleton, Walsh, 31, of Clive Road, Failsworth, and Waterhouse, 23, of Calcutta Road, Edgeley, Stockport were arrested and charged with affray. Each pleaded guilty on the day a trial was due to begin after hearing the maximum sentence they were likely to receive would be nine months in prison. Waterhouse, a call centre worker who launched a snooker cue and a pane of glass at the Reds, had no previous record and acted out of character, said his solicitor, Paul Bryning. He added that he had offered to pay compensation to the bar. Walsh, a pipe fitter who was jailed in 2003 for taking part in an race attack that sparked the Oldham riots, had taken steps to bring his drinking under control his solicitor, Laura Foster, said. Valente, also a pipe fitter, was ‘clouded by alcohol’ according to his solicitor, Adrian Palmer. Judge Anthony Gee QC handed down eight-month prison sentences suspended for 12 months. He ordered the defendants to pay a total of £1,500 compensation to the landlady of the bar and £500 costs each. He said: “This must have been an absolutely terrifying ordeal for the staff.”

Wrexham fans accuse Greater Manchester Police of 'heavy-handed' treatment at Stockport County
Wrexham football fans have accused Greater Manchester Police of being ‘heavy-handed’ during their recent trip to Stockport County.
Supporters claimed they were harassed by tactical aid officers at Saturday’s Edgeley Park clash but police chiefs in the North West have hit back and claim their actions prevented an outbreak of ‘large-scale disorder’.
The Blue Square Premier League match, which was attended by 4,518 fans, was designated Category C by police officials – the highest available for a non-league match.
Chief Insp Leon Jacobs, of GMP, said: "Officers faced a very challenging day, with large numbers of identified risk supporters from both Stockport County and Wrexham present.
"We implemented a robust operation that enabled us to keep both Wrexham and Stockport fans safe while they made their way to and from the football ground.
"Our focus was very much on those individuals we believed were intent on causing public disorder."

The 8 german spotters who made the trip to help their Belgian counter-parts, 200 Hannover hooligans will be present in Bruges. No tickets will be sale at the stadium. The only good point for police is that, for them, Bruges mob do not have the same number to confront Germans.
