Shrewsbury 'Fans' given Bail

According to the BBC, the twelve men arrested over football violence following a series of dawn raids have been released on bail.

The men, all in their 20s and from the Shrewsbury area of Shropshire, are suspected of fighting before a Walsall FC and Shrewsbury Town FA Cup match.

Up to 40 people, some armed with sticks, clashed at Tame Bridge Parkway station in Wednesbury on 10 November before the game at the Banks's Stadium.

British Transport Police (BTP) have bailed the men until 20 and 21 March.

More than 50 officers from BTP and West Mercia Police took part in raids at 13 addresses on Tuesday morning.


It isn't known whether the twelve man are subject to any bail conditions which might stop them coming to Edgar Street next Sunday when Shrewsbury Town are the visitors.
