NCIS Intelligence Log: Exeter City v Everton 5 Aug 2000

Quite a bit of supposition here. Would that last line stand up in court? Probably, but only when involving football fans...

Exeter City v Everton 05/08/2000  Pre-Season Friendly

 

40 Plymouth fans attended at Exeter purporting to be on a birthday party. They were then joined by 40 Everton fans who arrived by train and a disturbance took place at the station. Police attended and the disturbance resolved. A group of Exeter City fans then arrived at the station and a further disturbance took place. Only the prompt arrival of back-up units prevented the BTP officers present being seriously assaulted.
