Smith's Wood man handed football banning order

HEATED ATMOSPHERE: Police and stewards try to marshal fans at the
Villa Park match.

A SMITH'S Wood man has been banned from attending football matches for three years, following disorder at a FA Cup derby game between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion.
David Moore, of Morris Croft, admitted failing to comply with a previous football banning order, imposed in April 2013.
The 26-year-old was one of 17 fans arrested after ugly scenes at the quarter final clash earlier this month.
While West Midlands Police said there was no evidence that Moore had been involved in the disorder himself, his presence at Villa Park breached the terms of the existing ban.
Birmingham Magistrates also handed the defendant a 12 week curfew and a community service order at a hearing on Monday (March 9).
