Two Kidderminster men have been banned from football for four years following disorder after a match between Kidderminster Harriers and Macclesfield Town in September.

The pair admitted using threatening or abusive behaviour following the fixture on Saturday, September 6, 2025, and were sentenced at Worcester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (February 24).

West Mercia Police said the pair's actions were designed to provoke away supporters and caused fear and intimidation among fans who had attended the game. One of the men also made threats of violence towards officers attempting to maintain order.

PC Ryan Bridgewood said officers were pleased the pair had received banning orders, describing their behaviour as “appalling” and warning that those who try to “spoil it for the majority of fans” can expect similar action.

Samuel Enderbury, 26, of Redwing Court, Kidderminster, and Daniel Wyatt, 36, of Lister Road, Kidderminster, both pleaded guilty to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

Enderbury threw a can of beer towards a group of away supporters after the 1-1 draw at Aggborough, while Wyatt acted in a threatening and aggressive manner during the disorder.

Both were banned from attending football matches for four years and ordered to pay £85 court costs. Enderbury was fined £160 and Wyatt fined £40.
