Nathan Sturgess was explaining his actions in court after being seen on CCTV throwing a water bottle towards Chelsea fans.
Nathan Sturgess said “They were chucking coins and I got hit. I had no intention of harming anyone.”
The police representative was urging for a Football Banning Order for Sturgess due to the incident.
The police representative said “I’m instructed by the police to apply for a Football Banning Order for a duration of three years.”
Eve Cooper, chair of the bench, was detailing the court’s decision not to impose a Football Banning Order on Sturgess.
Eve Cooper said “We don’t consider it to be proportionate or necessary. If you’re in court for another offence, another bench might not be so lenient. There will be no football banning order. But please don’t be in court again for a similar offence.”
