Nine Boston United supporters given football banning orders following 'disorder' at match

Sixteen football supporters have been handed football banning orders (FBO) following disorder at The Walks stadium in King’s Lynn on January 1 this year.

The orders mean they are banned from attending any regulated football match in the country for the length of the order.

Ten Boston supporters and seven King’s Lynn supporters appeared in court on Thursday, February 23, charged with a combination of pitch encroachment and public order offences. All bar one pleaded guilty.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: “It happened during the second half of the match between King’s Lynn Town and Boston when rival supporters began fighting inside the stadium.

“These banning orders mean that they cannot attend any regulated football match anywhere in the country for the length of the order.”

Superintendent Wes Hornigold said: “Fighting between fans has no place in football and this result shows how robustly we will deal with incidents.

"We worked closely with King’s Lynn Town Football Club on the day to disrupt the violence and the vast majority of fans had a safe and enjoyable time.”
