I've always been a bit confused by that.
The fact is that Darren Balkham wants to identify the culprit, so there is certainly police involvement. Whether that is to build a case against the culprit here in the UK, assist French police in a case against him, should that apply, or even acting in liaison with / on behalf of the club, if that is possible, I have no idea.

If the club has dealt with this, and the low life ĥas, let's say a lifetime ban, then I'd expect PBOBE to announce it, "behave like a dickhead home or away and you will get a lifetime ban too"

I suspect the police will be looking to give him a football banning order to prevent him travelling when we play away? That might be the angle they are coming at this from?

I have it from an extremely reliable source that he has now given himself up.

On the train back from Manchester the other day there was a couple of older bloke pyschos threatening another group of Brighton lads, 16-year-olds, for no reason at all, they backed down and nothing came of it but we do have the regulation number of bellends among our support

That would be my thinking too, to prevent him travelling to England matches, if he was a member.

Unless it is a very serious crime i.e Sexual offences or certain violent offences (Think serious GBH or murder etc) the police here rarely exercise the powers afforded them under Extraterritorial jurisdiction. I also doubt the French police are likely to be interested if the offender is no longer in France. The power here lies with the club who can exercise any sanction they see fit against a private individual. PC Balkham may be interested in order to assist the club but frankly he wouldn't have a clue how to prosecute anyone, hes been stuck in that same role over 20 years and rarely does any actual real police work...

You can't just give someone a football banning order, it has to form part of the sentence on conviction from a criminal case or one can be applied for through the court based on intelligence. Possibly might go that route if the fella can be identified.

Perhaps we can have an imprisonment or community service thread?
As our European adventure comes to an end, for now at least, I understand the man responsible for this incident in Marseille was in court yesterday and received a three-year football banning order.

Good that a court has banned him from all football foe 3 years.
Does the club have the remit to go further with Albion/Amex attendance?
And might they do so?
And did they also cut off his goolies?
I'd be disappointed if they didn't.
(that's 'disappointed' in the way politicians use the word)

Yes, the club can ban anyone for however long they want.

The club can ban anybody from the Amex for as long as they see fit

Ban the prick from Brighton games for life. He’s a grown man, not a kid. If he can’t behave now in front of his own children he never will.
Good.
But haven't people received lifetime football bans for less than that? Three years seems very light to me.

Just came here to the post the same.
Well done to the club and the police for getting this done.
Glad this thread has a good conclusion.
