Sixteen people have been handed football banning orders following disorder at The Walks stadium in King’s Lynn on Sunday 1st January 2023.

Seven King’s Lynn supporters and 10 Boston supporters appeared in court yesterday (Thursday 23rd February 2023) charged with a combination of pitch encroachment and public order offences.

All bar one pleaded guilty.

It happened during the second half of the match between King’s Lynn Town and Boston when rival supporters began fighting inside the stadium.

These banning orders mean that they cannot attend any regulated football match anywhere in the country for the length of the order.

Superintendent Wes Hornigold said: “Fighting between fans has no place in football and this result shows how robustly we will deal with incidents.

“We worked closely with King’s Lynn Town Football Club on the day to disrupt the violence and the vast majority of fans had a safe and enjoyable time.”
