Football supporters

We help football supporters who face problems caused by the stewarding and policing of games.

We have substantial experience in seeking compensation for supporters wrongfully arrested and assaulted by stewards and police officers and in challenging clubs and police forces when they try to put unreasonable restrictions on fans attending games.

Amongst other cases, we have won a five-figure compensation sum for the fan of a London club arrested because of false allegations made by stewards, we helped overturned police conditions imposed on fans attending a game between two Yorkshire clubs, and we obtained £3500 compensation for a fan locked up by the police in a nightclub on the way to a game.

As a firm we worked closely with the Football Supporters Federation (now the Football Supporters Association) and have provided them with advice on matters of general concern to fans.
