FOOTBALL banning orders are a preventative measure designed to stop potential troublemakers from travelling to football matches, both at home and abroad.

Banning orders are issued by the courts after a conviction of a football-related offence, or after a complaint by the Crown Prosecution Service or a local police force.

For an order to be issued, it must be proved that the accused person has caused or contri- buted to football- related violence or disorder and that an order will prevent them from misbehaving further.

Orders are not imposed on people solely on the basis of minor convictions such as alcohol offences or similar misdemeanours.

They can last between three and ten years and can be customised to address individual behaviour patterns.

Breach of an order is a criminal offence and is punishable by a maximum sentence of six months in prison.

Banning orders are extremely successful as the majority of people who commit football disorder are genuine football supporters. They work because they stop fans from doing something they love – attending a football match.

In 92 per cent of cases, the person who completes a banning order is felt by the police to no longer pose a risk.
