Neville Davidson, chief executive of the Jersey Football Association, labelled the supporters a ‘menace to society’ and vowed to ban them from the Island’s stadium if they were identified.
The States police say that plastic bottles and cans were thrown between rival sets of supporters during the match – the 100th Muratti final – while up to 30 were ejected from the stadium and after the final whistle, the States police set up a cordon at the junction of Hilgrove Street and Halkett Street to prevent clashes between rival fans.
Guernsey supporters, whose team lost 1-0, were later escorted to the Harbour and onto the boat to prevent further problems, although the force say most of the ‘thousands’ of fans who attended were well behaved but a small group of supporters, from Jersey and Guernsey, caused trouble which is currently under investigation.
