World Cup Banning orders.
20 years ago, the World Cup in France was marred by trouble, on the 7th June in Marseille England and Tunisian fans clashed in what was branded a total disgrace by the then prime minister Tony Blair. Marseille suffered 3 days of rioting and 32 people were left seriously hurt, Marseille was definitely an ill-conceived venue for this fixture especially after a request to move the venue was turned down. The choice of venue, however, cannot excuse the behaviour of the minority of fans at the French port. England then moved on to Toulouse to face Romania where we once again saw trouble.
The tournament in France necessitated a review in the way travelling football matches were policed, and the work between the FA and the Police resulted in stronger legislation and in particular banning orders.
The key objective of the banning order is to stop trouble before it can start, to identify potential troublemakers, and stop them from travelling by removing their passports.
To impose a banning order the court must be satisfied that a person accused of a relevant offence, may cause further offences and believe that a banning order will help prevent violence and disorder under the football spectators act of 1989.
The banning order requires the offender to report to a police station and may require them to surrender their passport, a banning order can be in place for up to ten years, but maybe as little as three.
In the run-up to the world cup in Russia, an estimated 1900 people will be subject to a banning order.
Whilst it seems that football violence cannot be cured there has been a significant improvement from English fans, the ugly scenes in Marseille in 2016 between England and Russia we blamed entirely on Russian hooligans, now England have their house in order lets hope that other countries have copied the example set by the FA and the world cup in Russia is a success on and off the pitch.
