Headline from page 10 of the paper version of the Herald Express, Wednesday December 10th 2010.
The article then continues :

“Four Torquay United fans are currently barred from attending matches – compared to none last year.
But latest Home Office figures indicate there were no arrests of Gulls supporters last season, compared to two in 2008/09.
The measure was introduced to prevent known hooligans from causing trouble at home and abroad.
The bans last between two and ten years, and conditions can be varied on a case by case basis.
If necessary the courts can bar people from using public transport on match days and from visiting potential “hotspots” such as town centres, pubs and bars.”

Anybody got any dirt ? Time to name and shame ? Or do we let it go and move on ?

I m of the school of thought that says as there were no arrests, we let it go and move on..

As for the gang of four it s still …
