A Bristol City fan is starting his second football ban after he was found guilty of assaulting a Cardiff City steward who needed hospital treatment.

Flares were set off during raucous scenes before the game at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday, October 14, and investigations are ongoing to identify others who caused trouble at the Championship fixture.

Ki Stone, 25, from Lydney, Gloucester, was handed a five-year football banning order together with a 16-week prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months, at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court for his attack on the steward.

He was also ordered to pay a total of £700 in fines, costs and compensation.

He received his last ban in 2013 and was one of 32 travelling fans prosecuted for public disorder during the match against Cardiff City in February of that year.

'Stupidity'

The court heard how the steward needed hospital treatment after being punched and kicked by Stone at the match last month.

PC Chris Evans, from the South Wales Police football unit, said: “This was a cowardly attack on a man who was there just doing his job to ensure safety of people at the game.

“Had it not been for a police officer who put himself between Ki Stone and the steward the attack would have continued.

“There is absolutely no place for this stupidity in football. He’ll now be prevented from accessing any football match throughout Europe for five years.

“If he is even a football fan, and I doubt it, he’ll be enjoying what he can well away from the action on the pitch, which is where he belongs.

“Anybody else who was behind the disorder at the stadium that day should be looking over their shoulder because a post-match inquiry is currently ongoing to identify others.”

Around 2,000 Bristol City fans made the short trip to the city for the Severnside derby.

Ahead of the game a group of supporters were captured singing, chanting and jumping on the stadium concourse before a flare was set off and pints of beer were thrown in the air.

Six people were arrested in total.

Lydney football fan banned for steward attack in Cardiff

Cardiff's 2-1 win over Bristol City was manager Neil Warnock's first game in charge of the Bluebirds

A man has been banned from football matches for five years for attacking a steward at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Ki Stone, 25, from Lydney, Gloucester, was also given a 16-week sentence, suspended for 12 months, at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Stone, an away fan, was found guilty of assaulting the steward during Cardiff's 2-1 win over Bristol City on 14 October.
He was also ordered to pay £700 in fines, costs and compensation.

South Wales Police said this was Stone's second banning order, three years after his first.

The force said Stone punched and kicked a steward, who needed hospital treatment.

The banning order prevents Stone from getting into any football match in Europe.

PC Chris Evans said: "This was a cowardly attack on a man who was there just doing his job to ensure safety of people at the game.

"There is absolutely no place for this stupidity in football."
