I emailed this person to find out the procedure here was the reply
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your email.
You can make an application to terminate your football banning order. It will have to be made to Isleworth Crown Court if that is the court which imposed the ban in the first place.
The main thing the court will want to consider is whether there is any future risk of you committing disorder at football. The court will want to know if you have any breaches of the order, and whether the football intelligence officer has any objections to the ban being terminated. If you are a Chelsea fan, PC Wright is the officer to contact. if you are a Cardiff fan, PC Evans is the person to contact. I can provide contact details for either if you require them, but you should already have received details of how to contact them during the course of your ban. The UK Football Policing Unit may also make representations in writing, although I find they rarely bother.
From your side, you will need to provide lots of character references. Whether or not you agreed that your behaviour warranted a ban, you were given a ban, and the court won't be very keen on representations and references saying that the ban was unfair. But your references can say how the ban affected your life I.e unable to attend football with family members etc. and how you have learnt your lesson.
I recommend that you contact the court asking for the hearing to be listed. Provide them with the date on which your 4 years expires and include any dates you are not available, once a hearing is listed it is difficult to change it. A letter asking for a hearing date is sufficient, include your case number from your original case, the date you were convicted, the offence on which you were convicted, the name of the judge, and the fact you are applying for early termination. Also give a time estimate, which for these types of hearings is 1-2 hours. Include a copy of your ban with this letter.
I shall be happy to represent you. I usually charge between £250 and £350 (plus Vat). For that fee I advise on character references, will have a phone or face to face conference with you and advise you of any other references or information you need to obtain and advise you of your chances of success at the hearing, and will represent you at the hearing. Whether my fee is £250 or £350 depends on the amount of work I need to do with your character references etc, and the amount of preparation I need to do e.g how many papers there were in your original case which I will need to read.
If you would like me to represent you, please check with me the dates I am available before making your application to the court for a hearing, so that you can add the available dates into your letter to the court. I will also require a copy of your ban, any papers submitted to the court in support of the original ban, and also any papers you have from the case itself.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further queries.
