Football Banning Orders in Criminal Proceedings

Football Spectators Act 1989 (FSA), section 14A:

  1. The section applies where an offender is convicted of a relevant offence.
  2. If the court (Magistrates' Court or Crown Court) is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that making a banning order would help prevent violence or disorder at or in connection with any regulated football matches it must make such an order in respect of the offender.
  3. If the court is not so satisfied it must state that fact and give reasons in open court.
  4. A banning order under this section can only be made as an ancillary order on sentence. This includes an absolute or conditional discharge.

See Grounds for the matters to be taken into consideration.
