Teenage football hooligan handed Wolves ban
A teenage football hooligan has been handed a three-year ban from attending any Wolves games.
The 17-year-old pleaded guilty at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court to causing or contributing to violence or disorder in the UK on seven occasions since December 2012.
Magistrate Brian Wallis issued him with a three-year ban from all home and away Wolves games. This means that he will be unable to be near Molineux three hours before kick-off or three hours after the final whistle.
A further condition states that he should not attend Manchester or Birmingham stations and stadiums five hours before an away game and five hours after the final whistle.
The youth was part of a group wearing ski masks that pushed against police lines after Wolves won the match against Birmingham City on December 8, 2012.
He was also part of a group that chased Port Vale fans along Wolverhampton canal after Wolves beat the team 3-0. He pushed against police lines again on August 4, 2014, and on March 3, 2015, and October 24 of the same year he was arrested for violent disorder.
The teenager confronted Derby fans to engage in violent disorder on November 8, 2015 and on January 1 this year he was part of a group of hooligans involved in shouting at the police.
He then attended the Bolton Macron Stadium on January 31 with a group of so-called 'risk supporters'.
The news comes as three other Midlands supporters received the red card earlier this month after causing trouble at matches.
