Arrests rise to nine
Nine men have now been arrested by police as a result of their investigations into trouble at Burton two weeks ago.
One of the men, a 26 year-old from Hereford, is being held in custody and has been charged with violent disorder. His hearing is due at Burton Magistrates Court tomorrow. Eight other men, all from Hereford, will appear before magistrates in Burton to face similar charges on Tuesday.
Graham Turner, the Hereford United manager, is pleased with the arrests. Speaking to Trevor Owens on BBC Hereford & Worcester, Turner said: "I think there are nine arrests and the first thing is that those nine can't attend matches now.
"We are delighted that the co-operation between ourselves and in particular the Hereford and Staffordshire Police in gathering evidence has been sufficient for them to make arrests. And that sends a message out to potential troublemakers that they won't get away with it. It's as simple as that.
"I understand that the people arrested at Doncaster nearly two and a half years ago are due in court early next week. So there could be some custodial sentances which again sends the message around that the police and the club won't tolerate the behaviour we saw at Burton.
"I think there is still one lad that the police are keen to get. There was a young Burton lad who had a big kick at his head. If it had made contact with him, it could have been a far more serious offence. The lad has curly ginger hair very short, six foot one or two. If anybody knows him I'm sure the police would be delighted to hear. He's the one that they are very keen to arrest. Everyone will be delighted if they can get him.
"Some have been bailed but one is banged up inside already and I'm sure all the genuine supporters that be delighted to see the back of them."
