City Supporter Gets Banning Order

Last updated : 23 December 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry City supporter Ryan Teeling has received a Football Banning Order after trying to cause trouble with opposition supporters after the Millwall game last season.

The 24-year-old was also given a suspended eight month prison sentence for a public order offence after throwing a bottle at police officers who were trying to move fans on in Foleshill Road last April.

Teeling, of Clovelly Road, Coventry, previously served a four year ban and received the fresh order when sentenced at Leamington Crown Court on Wednesday (21 December). 

Sergeant Mick Wilkinson, from the West Midlands Police force’s football unit, said: "The festive fixtures are a long-held tradition for many football fans and the unacceptable behaviour of these three is now coming back to haunt them.

"The orders are not only given to people convicted of violence or disorder at matches but anyone who commits a football-related offence such as fighting or damaging property in a pub whilst watching a match.

"We work with clubs across the region to tackle football-related disorder and these FBO’s should send out a strong warning that it will not be tolerated - whoever you support."
