Banning Orders

Following on from other thread.

How do they stop you from getting into every league game in the country?
The amount of non ticket games at league 1 level out numbers the ticket ones.

No chance but I assume that if you're a Brighton fan, you probably don't want to go to Chesterfield vs Barnsley. To be honest you could probably get into most Brighton games if you wanted.

We got thrown out half time at Hartlepool once and watched the second half from the other end.

The way they used to do it was to get you to report to your local Police Station at the normal kick off time for your team. However, yes, how do they enforce them ?

You get photographed and it gets put on the database that is sent to all league grounds.

I was a wee bit wild in my youth

Well I can't see how that would work at Withdean with our old turnstiles

On that note, shouldn't Lee Bowyer be subject to a banning order?

If you did what he did in the stands, you certainly would be....

 

[cardboard]

The photos are in the police box inside the ground and the constantly look out for those who shouldn't be there.
I guess its the same at every ground

I think that's only for england games. Cardboard is correct, they rely on the local spotters to look at pictures of the crowd and pick people out. If you change your appearence enough and aren't well known I'm sure it's not that difficult to get away with. If you get caught however it is a criminal offence.

Are they not also starting to extend banning orders to conference matches as well. I do know that quite a few people who are under banning orders have taken to going to non-league game. Hereford were especially naughty last year.

If you did this on the terraces you would probably get 3 years in prison!

if he was found guilty of a certain thing we would be banned for at least 2 years, he was found guilty of the leser charge(I think) and therefore got off with it

Sussex police also attend away games and if they spot a banned Brighton fan then it's curtains for you.I manged to see games though

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Sussex Police would have spotters at games, as would the other forces covering away matches.

I guess you could sneak through at times, but having said that,

(1) if this applies to you, you can bet they have knowledge of your associates, and therefore where and with whom you're likely to be, making you far easier to spot

(2) maybe at some of the more obscure games, they take the view that if you can seriously be arsed to travel hundreds of miles to Carlisle in the rain just to watch the Albion get spanked 3-0, then you're truly getting the punishment you deserve anyway

 

[Uncle Buck]

How do I get one of these until McGhee leaves?

So many possibilities, but why not make it worthwhile for the rest of us?

Next time we have one of our favourite refs, say Mr Prosser, paint some kind of abusive message to him on your bum cheeks in lipstick, run on to the pitch just as we're kicking off, happy slap said referee before dropping your kecks, mooning him and allowing him to read exactly what you think.

Then just to really make us laugh, leg it and make the puffing stewards chase you half way across the lush Withdean turf before waving to the adoring masses and McGhee as you are gently escorted away by a couple of trying-to-keep-a-straight-face constables

The problem is this will mean I have to give my passport up for international games and I just want one for the Albion.

You could try pleading with the magistrate that you're scared of flying and you don't like foreign food?

and get sea sick, cannot drive and am scared of tunnels?

Or just tell them you're either (a) a notorious sex offender and child killer or (b) you ran over an innocent passer by in your car, three times, reversed over them for good measure, crashed the (stolen) car into a tree, destroying someone's house, then legged it from the scene, all while four times over the drink drive limit.

Then just plead guilty, and the kindly but elderly magistrates are sure to send you away with a drink counselling course, a £150 fine and your passport intact (mention that you were on the way to the Albion while stealing the car and you might get that domestic-only banning order you wanted)

Trip to Le Havre is going to be interesting...
