MikeyT Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-30767376 A teenager has been charged with possession of a firework at Saturday's football match between Leicester City and Aston Villa. The 16-year-old was arrested as part of a policing operation to use stop and search powers. The force said officers had been authorised to use the powers after receiving information that "serious disorder was being planned between hooligan elements of both clubs". Eleven people in total were arrested. A second man, aged 24, was charged with possession of an offensive weapon. Both of those charged were also served with football banning notice applications and will appear before courts in the coming weeks. The other eight men and one youth were arrested on suspicion of offences including affray, criminal damage and threats to damage, and remain in police custody. In total, 87 people were stopped and searched. Assistant Chief Constable Phil Kay, said: "As a result of the actions we took we were able to prevent serious disorder from taking place and allow law abiding supporters to enjoy the game."

ScouseFox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 11 people is not "serious disorder". Merely a scuffle imo. Seen bigger fights on the school yard.

Burmesefox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 I heard he got let off. Yes, but he does still have a short fuse.
Foxes1 Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 If he was my son I would have given him a right rocket when he got home.
GaelicFox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Brings a whole new meaning to "it went off in town at the football " In a good way it shows how safe football really is these days
