Dedicated West Ham Met Police Officer Andy Sheldon revealed, “A west ham fan who was arrested at the West Brom FA Cup game for throwing a bottle pleaded guilty at Thames magistrates court today, He received a fine and a 3-year football banning order.”
Now convicted the West Ham supporter will automatically receive a life ban from West Ham for all home and away matches which is the normal process for all of those found guilty of criminal acts.
Sheldon also revealed that a supporter that ran onto the pitch towards the end of the same game is due in court later this week.
