Bulls' 'Fan' Banned For Three Years


A Hereford United 'fan' has been banned from watching the Bulls for three years after pleading guilty to a charge of affray.

20 year old Joshua Watkins from Lindfield Walk, Hereford was also sentenced to three months in a young offenders institution with another three months out on licence.

Watkins was said to have been involved with fighting at Wellington railway station after a match at Telford last April.

According to the Shropshire Star, judge Peter Barrie said Watkins had been involved in “disgraceful public disorder and fighting.” 

"You did not start the disorder but on the other hand, you were clearly playing a leading part once it got under way,” he said. 

"You are seen punching out at people as hard as you can and kicking someone lying on the ground. You said drink had played a part but drinking is no excuse for behaviour in public of this kind, which is terrifying to members of the public and can very easily get out of hand."
