Can't believe someone was actually arrested and charged of the crime of the century of throwing a toilet roll on the pitch during the JPT game against Dagenham.
The prosecutor states 'Police take a zero-tolerrance approach to incidents like this, it may well be that people think throwing a toilet roll onto the playing area is not a big problem because it is soft.... police ask for these banning orders because of what it could incite'.
The Magistrate did not impose a ban and the offender received a conditional discharge and had to pay £85 costs.
Southend football intelligence officer Det Con Andy Smith said 'We're disappointed by this decision as we try to ensure disorder at Roots Hall is not tolerated'
Just be careful with those streamers you could end up in court!
