I didn’t know that some fans had already been through court - has that been reported anywhere at all?
The club has issued banning letters to a dozen additional Albion fans - excluding them from home and away matches until the end of the current season after they were captured on video breaching stadium rules.
So not naughty enough for a police prosecution but naughty enough to get a ban for a few months........i wonder what actions constitute this sort of ban?
It does seem that Prince Charming has just tipped off his fans that they won't be let into the Amex and given them their money back rather than actually apply any sanction to his hoolie 'mates'.I knew that bans had been handed out to some of our fans but it wasn’t my place to say until news officially broke.

There does, so far at least, seem to be a bit of a difference in how seriously both clubs take this. Albion: lengthy bans. Palace: don’t travel to Brighton tomorrow night and here’s your money back.
It does look as though Palace fans who said Parish and the club were too scared to take action against a certain group of their fans my have been correct.

So, have ANY Palace fans faced any charges or similar following the league game at the Amex?
We have history of completely over the top reactions without need for any law breaking. It's ridiculous.

Possibly. I feel we are one of the worst, one of the most corporate, but have sod all to compare us to other than how we were.Are we that different from other clubs though? I've read plenty of examples of people getting banning orders for non-prosecutable behaviour.
One thing I may add is that the Palace side of the PR on this has been very good. They've painted it very much as our club being to blame and the police making it worse. Their sainted thugs have been horribly slighted by it all, the poor kids.
we have irrefutable video evidence of misbehaviour
If that is the case then surely there is grounds for criminal prosecution?
I hope similar efforts are being made to punish the police officers that provided the false information regarding the knives and knuckle dusters.
That blame was already shifted to stewards.
