La polizia inglese ha ammonito le frange estreme della tifoseria di Watford e Luton (foto), fiere rivali storiche,in vista dell’ imminente match, rendendo noto che non sarà tollerato alcun atteggiamento violento. Il comunicato è stato diramato poichè agli investigatori risulterebbe che le due fazioni abbiano programmato di scontrarsi dopo la partita in punti prestabiliti della città di Watford.Il servizio d’ordine verrà potenziato adeguatamente. Intanto cinque giovani, noti come appartenenti alla tifoseria del Birmingham e facenti parte di un gruppo più nutrito e non completamente identificato, avrebbero causato danni  nella città di Varna, in Bulgaria, sotto l’ influenza dell’ abuso di alcool. Essi avrebbero compiuto danneggiamenti tali da costringere alcuni testimoni a richiedere l’ intervento della polizia locale che, come detto, avrebbe fermato solo alcuni dei partecipanti, ossia i cinque soggetti che sono stati  processati e rilasciati dietro il pagamento di cento “ieva” caduno dovuti a titolo di risarcimento.

A court in Bulgaria’s Black Sea city of Varna found five British nationals guilty of hooliganism, fining them 100 leva each after the group was involved in a rowdy incident in the late hours of April 1 2009, Bulgarian news agency BGNES said.
The men were all aged between 19 and 20 years, BGNES said. They were part of a bigger group who started breaking the windows of a newspaper stand and kicking refuse bins in the early hours of April 1 2009 on Varna’s central Knyaz Boris 1 boulevard.
Two witnesses told the court that they had asked the group to stop making noise. The Brits refused and police were called. When police arrived, the group tried to run away and hide in the alleys. Police caught eight and arrested them.
The young men told the court that they were students at an university near Birmingham and were all part of the local football team. Every year the team organised trips abroad and this year they chose Bulgaria.
According to BGNES, the young men admitted that they were under the influence of alcohol when disturbing the peace. One of them admitted breaking the window of the news paper stand and presented a receipt proving that he had paid for the damage.
Three of the British tourists were acquitted for lack of evidence. The court ruling is not a subject to appeal and all of the five sentenced British citizens have paid their 100 leva fines and been released.
