La polizia ha invitato i tifosi del Swindon ( foto ) a tenere un comportamento corretto nell’ imminente amichevole contro il Plymouth dopo i disordini che hanno segnato l’ incontro di precampionato contro il Cardiff della scorsa domenica, con un bilancio di diversi arresti dopo che una rissa ha coinvolto circa cinquanta persone. Fa discutere la riduzione di pena accordata ad un supporter del Crystal Palace, condannato in precedenza a quattro anni, per avere aggredito, insieme ad altri quindici soggetti, un gruppo di sostenitori del Charlton che viaggiavano a bordo di un treno nel 2007; i rapporti tra le due “firm” sono pessimi. Ora la genitrice alza la posta dichiarando che il figlio non era mai stato precedentemente coinvolto in episodi violenti. Infine, problemi giudiziari, un po’ farseschi, per alcuni fans dei Wolves. Sarebbero stati immortalarti, uno con il volto coperto da passamontagna, da un fotografo dell’ “Express & Star”. L’ individuo travisato si sarebbe tolto di dosso il “balaclava” troppo presto consentendo allo stesso operatore di immortalare anche il suo volto Successivamente la polizia avrebbe avuto modo di contestare ad alcuni del gruppo ipotesi di reato traendo spunto dal detto reportage, in special modo la presenza in luogo non consentito per precedente interdizione.

A Crystal Palace hooligan’s mum has spoken out to defend him – after his four-year jail term for head-butting a rival Charlton fan was cut.Clive Taylor was sentenced alongside 15 other Eagles fans for attacking passengers and rival supporters on a train in 2007.His mother Jeanette this week welcomed the decision by the Royal Courts of Justice to cut his prison term.She insists the right decision was made as he was sentenced on the assumption his head-butt had broken his victim’s nose, which later turned out not to be true.Mrs Taylor, 56, from Marion Road, Thornton Heath, is now looking forward to having her son home in time for Christmas .She said: “We want people to know that he wasn’t a ringleader and isn’t a thug.”It was awful because I knew from the start that my son didn’t break anyone’s nose in the first place.”We just had to fight it because he got a four-year sentence for breaking someone’s nose when it didn’t even happen.”Taylor, 36, is being held in Coldingley Prison, in Woking, Surrey, where his mum visits him three times a month.”When he first went away I nearly had a breakdown,” she said.Mrs Taylor is adamant that her son head-butted his victim in “self defence” after he was sworn at.He was jailed for violent disorder after the incident at Sydenham railway station on September 1, 2007 before Palace’s game with local rivals Charlton.The police investigation into the disorder involved up to 150 British Transport Police officers.Passengers were left terrified as hooligans rampaged through two train carriages.But Jeanette thinks her son deserved even more time off his sentence, than the one year that has been taken off.”I was expecting a little bit more,” she said. “But I’m pleased he has got that year knocked off because he will be out in December.”He had never been in trouble before in his entire life. He was classed as a thug but he was not a thug.”Of the 16 men arrested, 12 pleaded guilty and four, including Taylor, were convicted by a jury”
Court out – meet the football fooligans
Express and Star
29 July 2009
Simon Evans aged 26 and Paul Gregory aged 28 Could these men be the most stupid football hooligans ever? With their bully-boy tactics, this gang of Wolves ‘fans’ thought they could get the better of the law and the Express & Star.But today we can reveal them as mindless clowns, who claimed to police they didn’t know Darlaston was in Walsall – even though one of them is a postman.
Royal Mail worker Simon Evans and unemployed waiter Paul Gregory threatened the Express & Star photographer taking their pictures. Gregory even hid behind a woolly balaclava, but then removed it too soon, allowing our photographer to grab his picture.Moments later, they ganged up and tried to get him to delete the images. But, thanks to modern technology, today we can expose them as the moronic hooligans they are. And two of them are now facing jail because of their previous violent behaviour.Evans and Gregory appeared at Walsall Magistrates Court yesterday, with Mark Hodgetts and Ben Richardson. Each had been given an order banning them from games following their roles in trouble surrounding Wolves matches last year.But despite this, the four were spotted in Darlaston last Tuesday when Wolves played a pre-season friendly against Walsall at Banks’s Stadium. Here spotted by surveillance officers at the Green Dragon pub, in Church Street, while Hodgetts, aged 28, and Richardson, aged 21, were seen in Asda car park, in St Lawrence Way. But after being hauled into custody by police, they claimed it was simply a geographical mix-upEvans, aged 26, and Gregory, aged 28, w.
Mr Nick Baker, prosecuting, told the magistrates: “During the police interview they said they did not think Darlaston was in Walsall.” Mr Paul Hiatt, defending, said Evans, of Wentworth Road, Bushbury, Wolverhampton; Gregory, of Wesley Road, Billbrook, Wolverhampton’ and Hodgetts, of Hellier Road, Bushbury,Wolverhampton, had met up in Darlaston for a drink.“They had no intention of going to Walsall to attend the the match,” he said. “There was some confusion between them over whether Darlaston was actually in Walsall.”Evans and Gregory both admitted failing to comply with the orders while Mark Hodgetts and Ben Richardson pleaded guilty to breaching football banning orders.Sentencing for Evans, Gregory and Hodgetts, a bin man, was adjourned until next month and the three were bailed.Chairman of the bench Shirley Newby told Gregory and Hodgetts custody could not be ruled out. Richardson, of Thornholme Close,Leicester, was fined £65 and ordered to pay £60 costs and £15 surcharge.A fifth man Ricky O’Rourke, aged 19, of Meryhurst Road, Wednesbury, denied failing to comply with an order made last year. His case was also adjourned”
