50 Bristol C fans were Raided in the last week for trouble i

50 Bristol City fans were Raided in the last week for trouble in Cardiff and trouble at home to Bolton Wanderers.
Most have been charged and will appear in court later this month.

Most of the arrests are for.

Fighting after the game with the Police.

Smoke bombed themselves in the Great Western, smashed up furniture, scared the staff, then threw stuff at the general public as they were being escorted to the ground.

And previously this season.

52 fans banned from Bristol football grounds

THERE are now 52 football fans banned from Ashton Gate and the Memorial Stadium.
Avon and Somerset police have continued their crack-down on football-related violence and anti-social behaviour, securing punishments against three more hooligans in the last three weeks.

On March 30, Rovers fan Martin Sealey, 43, of Queens Road, Warmley, received a three-year football banning order (FBO) and a 12-week suspended prison sentence for public disorder after the FA Cup clash with Aston Villa in January.
On April 2, City fan Ryan Pearson, 22, of Whitmead Gardens, Hartcliffe, received a three-year FBO and a conditional discharge for his behaviour at the Championship game with Cardiff City last month.


And on April 10, 19-year-old Rovers fan Thomas Williams, of Prospect Close, Winterbourne, received a one-year prohibited activities requirement, which included not attending any regulated football match, following his arrest at the Villa match.
Out of the 52 fans banned in Bristol, 27 are City fans, 21 support Rovers and the remaining four are fans of clubs from outside the city.
Avon and Somerset's Force Football Officer Roger Thayer – pictured – said: "The message from Avon and Somerset police is – enjoy your football but if your intention is to try to disrupt games or spoil the enjoyment for genuine fans, you are likely to end up with a football banning order. We will remain relentless in our pursuit of football hooligans ensuring families feel safe at our football grounds.
"This season has been encouraging from a police point of view. The first month of the season saw no arrests being made and this has effectively been a springboard, which has seen few home arrests and generally good behaviour from fans over the season."
FBOs prevent holders from attending regulated football matches, in some cases travelling abroad when international matches are being played and it also prohibits them from visiting football stadia or their immediate surroundings on match days.
FBOs range from three to five years, if they are not subject to a custodial sentence.
For those who are imprisoned, they may extend to a period of between six and ten years.
Mr Thayer added: "Other conditions requested on a FBO may include exclusion zones around stadia before and after home fixtures and a day-long ban on travel to towns and cities where away matches are being played."
He said last season saw a slight decrease in arrests in the force area and away games, against a general national trend of increasing football-related offences.
"A total of 94 people were arrested for football-related incidents last season compared with 163 in 2009-2010 and 137 a year earlier."
This season, five people have been identified as breaching their football banning orders and have gone through the criminal justice system, one receiving a suspended prison sentence.
Mr Thayer added: "In Avon and Somerset we work closely with police colleagues across the country to identify and build intelligence profiles on known 'risk' supporters and those on the fringes.
"This, together with our partnership work with local football league clubs, enables us to target those intent on disrupting games or causing problems in the community before and after games. It enables us to create a safe and enjoyable environment for families visiting games in Avon and Somerset."

I can't read, I can't write but I can droive a tractorrrr, oim a brizzol city fan and oim a fuckin wanker

not doing their club any favours. They struggle for support as it is. Slippery slope

Putting themselves on Youtube didnt help

Good enough for them

Putting themselves on Youtube didnt help

I know, I bet even their briefs said "listen you stupid twats, your fucked"

Smoke bombing themselves and relegation should have been punishment enough

no sympathy for them...........those brizzle boys don't like us Welsh boys

Here they are parked outside court.

for my sins I had to live in Bristol for nearly 20 years. My ex's family were either Bristol rugby or Gasheads - used to be the proper, old school club rather than City, in some ways it still is but not for this.

Sad to see Rovers fans getting the same way as that other mob - didn't used to be, but perhaps that is just my recollection/perception of attending matches at the Mem.

Should have flogged the wurzels through the streets of britsol.

Here's a question......................Is this largely all a waste of police money? Do local politiocians ever do a cost analysis of the disproprtionate amount of tax payers money going into these police operations? Not to mention the cost of imprisoning these people, who are largely tax paying working family men, the cost is around 12oo pound a week per prisoner........A genuine question for all of you irrespective of your political views, Is it Time to ask some serious questions of police commissioners budgetry priorities............... Putting mainstream media hype to oneside, I am pretty sure football 'casuals' are not an existential threat to british society . ......For instance in the last decade we've seen unbelievable efforts and financial resources ploughed into containing football violence, yet throughout the british asian community during the same time, a culture of free and easy peadophilia has seemingly developed unabated. Where were the the 'Old bill?' Oh that's easy..... accrueing easy over time at the football.

Doubt very much they were proper bristol fans, looked like a bunch of halfwitt kids on their one big day out, proper bristol fans were the ones who made the trip when the bubble was in place. And the ones that will stick by their club now they are in league 1
