Football fans banned! RIVAL football fans have been banned from attending regulated matches after they were involved in a fight in Cheltenham town centre. Eleven men, who are supporters of Cheltenham Town or Bristol Rovers and aged in their 20s, appeared at Bristol Crown Court for sentencing on Monday 20 and Wednesday 23 October. They were all given football banning orders for three years, fined £214 and have to undertake between 40 and 100 hours of community service. Police had been called to Bath Road in Cheltenham on Saturday
15 October 2022 with a report of a disorder between Cheltenham Town and Bristol Rovers fans. An altercation between the two sets of fans had broken out ahead of their League One fixture that afternoon. The groups had been drinking at nearby pubs when they began to goad each other. A fight broke out on the street with punches exchanged, and the groups then dispersed and went their separate ways. Officers investigating the affray reviewed CCTV footage from the pubs and, following a public CCTV appeal, 15 men were
identified. All of the men were charged with affray offences and later appeared at court. The case went to trial and 11 of the men pleaded guilty to the charges against them, one man was found not guilty and three others had the charges against them dropped. In mitigation during sentencing, the court heard that the men were young and immature at the time of the fight, but have since “grown up” and would not behave the same way now. Continued on page 3
