Earlier this year, following the match against the Blunts, Barnsley fans and the general public were subject to a shower of ballast stones being thrown at them, while they waited on Sheffield train station.
Thanks to CCTV and the Football Intelligence Unit, six people have been now been arrested, and with one of the porkys squeeling on his mates, 3 of them have been charged with the offence, one of them is well known to the FIU.
This will lead to banning orders to these fans.
Well done Transport Police, and the FIU...
Also a nother well done to the Football Supporters Federation's legal people for pursuing the case of a Barnsley fan walking to the same Blunts match in April. He was dragged out of a crowd by 2 DeeDar police officers, illegally detained, bitten on his back, by a police dog, and then escorted out of town.
He was awarded £3,750 for his pains, and infringements to his rights.
No money can make up to being present on that day of the Blunts demise,and the humiliation of Daniel Leagueoneovic.

Good to see things turned out well; the police actually doing their job properly; the police being reprimanded for NOT doing their job properly; Blunts relegated. Not a bad Saturday if you ask me.
Reminds me of one of my favourite Metallica albums:
'And Justice For All'
Can't wait for the new season...
