Trnava fans causing chaos

Spartak Trnava moved up to 2nd in the league level on points with FK Senica after goals scored in the 89th and 90th minutes sent their fans ballistic!

Trnava are typically one of the best followed teams in Slovakia and with the team pushing hard at the top of the table they were always going to travel en masse the 40km up the road to Senica. A banner unveiled in a recent away match proclaimed “every match we are at home”.

Unfortunately the fans have made the headlines for the wrong reasons again after this match. Visitors from Trnava ran a mock the whole day long and left the town of Senica and stadium in a bit of a mess. The police were heavily involved after pitch invasions followed the 2 last minute goals. I wasn’t there so I won’t judge them, personally I like the fact that Trnava bring some atmosphere with them, obviously though it seems like sometimes their enthusiasm spills over into unacceptable behaviour.

Police look into football violence

POLICE in South Yorkshire have launched a investigation into violence which broke out following the game between Barnsley and Hull City last weekend.

Fans fought before and after the match on Saturday, October 30 and caused criminal damage in Barnsley town centre.

Before kick-off in the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw, Hull City supporters caused "significant" damage to Harborough Hill Working Men's Club in Shaw Lane, which had been designated to the away fans.

After the match, a "large number" of football supporters were in a large-scale brawl in Regent Street, one of the main streets in Barnsley town centre.

Chief Superintendent Andy Brooke from South Yorkshire Police, the commanding officer for football policing in Barnsley, said: "Saturday saw a large group of Hull City fans travel to the game with clear intentions to cause trouble and harm.

"Even though there has been no history of disorder between the two teams and no advance intelligence regarding the group's intentions, we still had enough police resources on hand for such a game and their quick intervention restored order at both incidents.

"I have opened a full post-match enquiry to quickly identify the offenders. We have enjoyed trouble-free fixtures for many seasons at Barnsley and take pride that Barnsley is a safe and family-based club to enjoy watching football.

"Such instances of hooliganism will not be tolerated and our aim is to eradicate the menace."

South Yorkshire Police said the force has now taken a "dedicated" team of officers in Barnsley off other duties to investigate the events of last Saturday.

Chf Supt Brooke added: "A sporting fixture has been spoilt for a number of people who have had to witness fighting or, as with the staff at Harborough Hill Working Men's Club, had to suffer significant damage. We will now work in partnership with both clubs and Humberside Police to bring the offenders to justice and ban them from future fixtures."

Fans arrested after social club invasion

ELEVEN men were arrested following a disturbance at Fir Park Social Club on Tuesday, October 26, as Motherwell were busy putting Dundee United out of the Co-operative Insurance.

Initial reports suggested the arrests had taken place after the game but it was later confirmed by police the incident was at around 8.30pm, while the game was in progress.

A group of men thought to be Dundee United fans shoved their way past the doorman at the social club, but before they could cause any significant problems police who had been patrolling around Fir Park were quickly on the scene.

An eyewitness added: "There were police everywhere and I actually saw one guy being wrestled to the ground by three cops.

"Others were being chased along the street and some were even trying to hide behind the nearby bridal shop, I wasn't sure what was going on but the police certainly reacted very swiftly."

A police source denied they had any intelligence which suggested trouble was likely and it was only due to the close proximity of the social club to the ground that enabled them to react so quickly.

Officers from other towns were dispatched to the scene to help their Motherwell colleagues and 11 men aged 16-43 from Dundee were charged with various anti-social crimes and appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court last week.
