FA probe nears end

Sun, 20 Sep 12:45:54 2009

The Football Association are this week set to announce the findings of their investigation into the trouble which flared at West Ham's Carling Cup match against Millwall.

The FA announced following the match they would push for football stadium life bans to be imposed on fans who could be identified as trouble-causers.

A man was stabbed outside Upton Park and pitch invasions followed West Ham's goals in their 3-1 win.

A statement from the FA said: "The FA's extensive investigations into the events at the recent West Ham versus Millwall fixture are drawing to a close. CCTV footage from approximately 47 cameras inside Upton Park is still being examined along with other lines of enquiry.

"Both clubs have co-operated and provided assistance in relation to the enquiry and the FA expects to be in a position to confirm the outcome of the investigation in the coming week.

"The FA has also been liaising closely with the Metropolitan Police in connection with the disorder outside the ground, whilst West Ham published photographs in Saturday's matchday programme to assist in the identification process."

  1. Did you see the hatred on the faces of supporters at­ the manchester derby yesterday? It is only a small­ incident away from violence at any of these games.

    I­ certainly don't condone the actions of these­ morons, but don't make it sound like it's a­ localised problem.
