3️⃣ men have received football banning orders following an incident at the Cardiff City Stadium ⚽️❌👩✈️▶️ Lee Thomas, from Pentre, was given a 5-year banning order after admitting assault at Cardiff City Football Club v Manchester United on December 22, 2018.
▶️ Gareth Walters, from Ely, and Royston Davies, from Llanrumney, were given 3-year banning orders for the same incident.
Following their convictions, the men were also ordered to complete unpaid work & pay compensation 💷💷💷
A disturbance broke out in the Canton Stand towards the end of the first half when it became clear that a 22-year-old from Ely, and his 16-year-old brother, were Manchester United fans.
They were escorted by stewards from the stand to the concourse, where the violence by the defendants continued.
Pc Christian Evans, from South Wales Police, said:
💬 The victim, and his brother, had obtained tickets for the wrong end and unfortunately, despite their best efforts, were unable to contain their emotions when Manchester United were awarded a penalty.
💬 While it was perhaps foolish to sit in the home end, this young man did not deserve to be assaulted.
Walters, 34, pleaded guilty to spitting in the face of the victim and was sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, and 100 hours of unpaid work. He must pay £100 compensation and £225 victim surcharge and costs.
Davies, 47, pleaded guilty to a common assault by way of a punch, and was sentenced 60 hours unpaid work. He must pay £100 compensation and £170 costs and victim surcharge.
Thomas, 34, pleaded guilty to assaulting the victim and was sentenced to the 120 hours unpaid work and must pay £50 compensation, £170 costs and victim surcharge. He received a longer ban, having already received a three year banning order in March for a pitch invasion in February.
Pc Evans added:
💬 The overwhelming majority of Cardiff City fans are well-behaved and passionate about their team
💬 In fact some home fans tried to protect the victim and his brother during this incident.
💬 However, whenever there is evidence of football-related disorder or violence we always pursue those responsible in order that appropriate action is taken.
Walters, Davies and Thomas are banned from attending any football matches in the UK which are regulated under the Football Spectators Act 1989.
As part of their bans, imposed by Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Friday, June 14, they must not:
❌ Enter any licensed premises within 2500 metres of any regulated football match in the United Kingdom during the period of 5 hours before kick-off until 5 hours after the final whistle
❌ Enter any town or City in the United Kingdom where Cardiff City Football Club or the Wales Team are playing a regulated match at any away ground.

What action has been taken against the Manchester United "fans" who were in the wrong part of the stadium and against the Cardiff City season ticket holders who gave them, or sold them, the tickets?
Shouldn't of been in the Cardiff end in the first place.
To everyone that is defending the criminals in this case... well done. You're representing the team well.
celebrates in the wrong end, what did they think they'd get? a cuddle? 😂😂😂
Bang out of order that , same would happen to me if I was to sit in there end at old Trafford , absolutely ridiculous, sort it out
Shame Feel sorry for the lads arrested, should never have been in the home end they knew the risks
Give the thugs a lifetime ban.
How come the one was able to get into the match if he was already given 3 yr ban in March ???
The only reason they shouldnt be in there is because things like this happen. At the end of the day, as long as they dont start any trouble, just let them support their team. If the man utd game at old Trafford was a relegation decider and we didnt have enough tickets, I bet half the moaners who say 'liverpool fans shouldnt be in the Cardiff end' would take a ticket amongst man utd fans at old Trafford to see a bit Cardiff game.
Got tickets in the wrong end unfortunately!!!!!!! If you believe that then your more of a mug than the pair that got a slap, they knew the risks and tried it on but when they had a slap ran to the authorities, can’t believe the 3 they’ve had banning orders but the 2 muppets are free to do the same again
"While it was perhaps foolish to sit in the home end this young man did not deserve to be assaulted"... to be honest lads if you celebrate a different team's goal on purpose you are kind of asking for trouble
Jolly good news SWP, great work.

I bet they don't take fifa loses well 🤣
Those that sold there tickets to these plastic Manure fans need banning. They have caused people to be assaulted and sent to jail. Jokers
I actually sat with some Newcastle and Man Utd fans at St James’ Park and Old Trafford. The only reason I was sat there is because I got moved on both occasions due to the seating being unsuitable.
Well done Christian you cockwomble
