Brawl broke out on Edinburgh to Bristol Temple Meads service after Bristol Rovers' League One clash at Barnsley and Swindon Town's League Two game at Notts County

Police were called to reports of a ‘large fight’ between supporters of rival football teams on a train approaching Cheltenham Spa railway station.

It kicked off on Saturday evening on the Edinburgh to Bristol Temple Meads service and British Transport Police, Gloucestershire Police and police dogs were called to the scene.

Supporters of League One side Bristol Rovers and League Two side Swindon Town got into a brawl following their respective away league games on Saturday.

A number of police units were sent to the station in Queens Road, Cheltenham, but the altercation was over by the time officers arrived with the rival groups being separated and put on different trains.

On twitter, Gloucestershire police said: “Multiple FRU [Force Response Units] have responded to reports of a large fight on a train approaching Cheltenham train station.

“All in order on arrival, all parties separated and sent on their way.”

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Cheltenham station at 8.40pm on Saturday 27 October following reports of an argument between football fans.

“BTP and colleagues from Gloucestershire Police attended, and the groups had separated voluntarily on arrival.

“No arrests were made and there were no injuries reported.”

A handful of West Ham fans appeared to jump towards the away supporters after an hour of the tie, which Spurs won 3-1.

The stewards did their best to defuse the situation and fans were held back from both sides.

After the altercation, security and stewarding was increased to stop things from boiling over.

One appeared to run towards the Tottenham fans in a bid to taunt them - despite the Hammers being 2-1 down - while a second ran towards Arthur Masuaku in a Halloween mask.

A smoke bomb was also let off in the London Stadium.

Celtic fans slammed for throwing fireworks and ‘chanting anti-poppy song’ at Dens Park

Fans say they felt unsafe during the SPFL premier league match between Dundee and Celtic after away supporters launched pyrotechnics towards home supporters in the South Enclosure.

Dundee suffered a Halloween nightmare on the pitch, losing 5-0 to Brendan Rogers’ Glasgow side and supporters were left feeling further aggrieved, with some accusing police and stewards of inaction and allowing the large travelling support to get away with holding banned items in the Kilmac Stadium.

It is an offence for anyone to enter a football ground with fireworks, flares or pyrotechnics of any type, yet no arrests were made during the game.

Police are investigating with specialist football unit officers in an attempt to identify those responsible.

Video evidence of fireworks landing in the South Enclosure has appeared online, with police clearly visible in the vicinity.

One Dundee fan, who asked not to be named, said: “Policing at Dens was an absolute shambles on Wednesday night, it was embarrassing.

“The Green Brigade (Celtic supporters group) and Celtic fans were letting off pyrotechnics at will.

“As far as I could see, no-one was arrested — it’s changed days from how games used to be policed.

“The referee should have stopped the game, the devices were being thrown towards Dundee fans from the Bob Shankly stand.

“It was glaringly obvious where the trouble was coming from and the police and stewards did not intervene at all.”

Footage of Celtic fans appearing to sing an anti-poppy chant at Dens Park has also surfaced online.

The clip surfaced on the Football Away Days Twitter account on Thursday morning – and claims to show Hoops fans shouting “‘stick your f*****g poppy up your a**e”.

The post stated: “Celtic fans at Dundee last night with a controversial song”.

A Dundee FC spokesman said: “The club share the concerns being expressed by the home supporters.

“A plan was put in place to deal with the large numbers of visiting supporters in conjunction with our security team and Police Scotland.

“Search protocols were in place but it’s conceded it is almost impossible to search all fans in a crowd of nearly 8000 entering the stadium and unfortunately a small number of items did get in and were discharged.

“The club will be reviewing CCTV footage and will pass on anything which can help with any investigations Police Scotland undertake.”

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “We are aware of a number of incidents at the Dundee v Celtic match at Dens Park on Wednesday October 31.

“While we can confirm that no arrests were made at the game or immediately afterwards, officers from the Football Co-ordination Unit for Scotland (FoCUS) are investigating the behaviour of supporters at the match, with a view to identifying those involved in criminal behaviour, and taking appropriate action in due course.”

Celtic have been approached for comment.

Millwall fan accused of killing rival Nottingham Forest supporter has manslaughter charges dropped - 17/10/2018

Source : https://www.independent.co.uk/

Doctors cannot prove injuries inflicted on the victim directly led to his death

A Millwall fan who admitted a vicious assault against a Nottingham Forest supporter will not be prosecuted for causing the victim’s death.

Andrew Lewis – who had already admitted attacking 56-year-old Paul O’Donnell outside the City Ground in August 2017 – had been accused of manslaughter, but prosecutors have now dropped the charge.

Miranda Moore QC told Leicester Crown Court that doctors could not definitively say the injuries Lewis inflicted on Mr O’Donnell caused his death.

The Millwall supporter had already pleaded guilty to a separate charge of causing grievous bodily harm by punching the Forest fan during a fight which broke out before the two teams played last year.

Lewis had drunk seven pints of lager in the build-up to the match and told the court he had launched the assault on Mr O’Donnell because he had been saying “West Ham” – Millwall’s fiercest London rivals – to him.

The fracas took place before a Friday night fixture between the two clubs on the opening day of the last year’s Championship season, which Forest went on to win 1-0.

Mr O’Donnell, an avid Forest supporter, was found in a critical condition two weeks later at his home in Newark, Nottinghamshire, and was pronounced dead in hospital on 24 August, almost three weeks after he was attacked by Lewis.

He had suffered a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain thanks to the “entirely unnecessary as well as aggressive blow” from Lewis, the court heard.

Immediately after he was hit by Lewis the father-of-two was taken to hospital, but was later released. He did, however, complain of memory loss and severe headaches, Ms Moore told the court.

Forest fans at the City Ground stood for a minute’s applause in the 56th minute of a match in September last year after his death to honour Mr O’Donnell.

His partner of six years, Kimberley Dempsey, said the tribute was “lovely” but a bittersweet moment nevertheless.

“I will be thinking we shouldn’t be here doing this. He shouldn’t be dead,” she told the Newark Advertiser before the match.

“He was so funny, sharp and witty. He was also stubborn and would have an answer for everything. Once he had an idea in his head, that was it. He was a peach really.”

His sister, Margaret Barthorpe, said her brother was immensely popular in their neighbourhood and among Forest fans.

“The support we have had has been absolutely amazing. It has kept us going. He was very popular.

“We only realise how much he was appreciated now he has gone.”

Lewis, from Bromley in South London, was jailed on Wednesday for one count of causing grievous bodily harm.

The judge told the 50-year-old: “This was an entirely unnecessary as well as aggressive blow to a man who, at that moment, was incapable of defending himself because he was looking away.

“You know that serious injury can be caused by serious violence because you have a previous conviction for causing grievous bodily harm.

“It could easily have been worse. Everyone should be safe to attend matches like this without having to experience or witness violence.”

Lewis was previously convicted for assaulting a taxi driver in Cardiff in 2004, when he was visiting the city while it hosted that year’s FA Cup final between Millwall and Manchester United.

Defending Lewis, Matthew Sherratt QC said: “He has let himself down, he has let his family down and he has let his son down. He should never have punched Mr O’Donnell and he is sorry.”
