Can a banning order apply if no one was hurt? A football banning order can still be made even where nobody was injured, and even where there was little or no real risk of injury. #FootballLaw #FootballBanningOrder

Don’t let myths keep you from a fair defence. Getting a solicitor won’t make you look guilty or keep you locked up longer. Football fans, if you’re in legal trouble, get the right advice and stay protected. #FootballLegalAdvice #LegalMythsBusted #KnowYourRights

One mistake can cost your season ticket. Since 2022, even one wrap of Class A is a football offence. Don’t risk it , get proper legal advice. #FootballLaw #MatchdayRisk #KnowTheLaw

One pitch invasion can mean years away from football. It’s not worth the ban. Stay in the stands, and if you’re already facing charges, get expert legal help. #FootballLaw #MatchdayRules #KnowTheRisk

Wrong place, wrong time and now you’re in cuffs. Even if you did nothing, police often treat the whole group as one. If you’ve been arrested just for being there, we know how to fight it. #TicketingIssues #FanRights #FootballLaw

Your ticket fails to scan. Someone offers to help you through. Security stops you, police arrive, and suddenly you're banned whilst they investigate. You had a valid ticket. Fair or foul? Let us know what you think. #TicketingIssues #FanRights #FootballLaw

Pleading guilty might seem easier, but a court ban is more serious than a club ban. Get proper legal advice before deciding. #FootballLaw #FootballBans #FanRights

A few chants on the train can lead to arrest for being drunk and disorderly, with a possible banning order. Fair or foul? #footballlaw #fanrights #banningorder

You take a pint to your seat. Honest mistake. Seconds later, you face a charge, a possible ban, and months of stress. Small mistake, big outcome. Where is the line for you? #FootballLaw #FanRights #MatchdayIncidents

Twenty years as a season ticket holder. One split second put Ben at risk of a ban and a criminal record. We took his case to trial and proved his defence. Verdict: Not guilty. #FootballLaw #FootballBanningOrder #MatchDayIncidents

Carrying a mate’s bag can turn serious fast if there is pyro inside. You did not pack it or know about it, but the law looks at who brought it in. We see this happen often. If it has happened to you or someone you know, get in touch. #FootballLaw #FanRights #MatchDayIncidents

You shouted at a player in the heat of the moment and now face a ban and arrest. First time offence, abuse or a passionate outburst? Where’s the line for you? #FootballLaw #MatchdayIncidents #FanRights

One second holding a flare you didn’t light can lead to arrest and a ban. Fans are often caught trying to move it, don’t face it alone #FootballLaw #FlareBan #KnowYourRights

Throwing something onto the pitch is a criminal offence. You'll face charges, a fine, and a Football Banning Order. Court case, criminal record, missing games. Already charged? Get legal advice before your first hearing. #FootballLaw #MatchDayAdvice #FanRights

Someone lights a flare, passes it to you for a photo. You hand it back in seconds. Then that photo surfaces online. Tagged. Shared. And suddenly you're facing a ban for possession. Intent doesn't matter. The image is enough. One second. One photo. One ban. #FootballLaw

Public order charge after the match? That could mean a fine or a prison sentence. We break down the difference between Section 5 and Violent Disorder, and help fans fight every type of case. #FootballLaw #PublicOrder #FootballBan

No conviction. No charge. You can still be banned from football. We defend fans who never even went to trial and still ended up fighting banning orders. #FootballLaw #FootballBan #MatchdayRights
