Aberdeen match
AlbionÔÇÖs match that day did not even involve Tottenham Hotspur.
Brighton and Hove Albion were playing Aberdeen in a pre-season friendly. The Scottish sideÔÇÖs fans had arranged for Tottenham Hotspur followers to come to the city in their stead.
The clubsÔÇÖ supporters have a ÔÇ£reciprocal agreementÔÇØ under which Aberdeen is supported if it plays in southern England, out of range of its own fanbase.
When the sides clashed in Albion Hill and Grove Hill, at about 4.20pm Sussex Police received 27 999 calls.
Several of the Tottenham Hotspur thugs were already subject to football banning orders.
Some had been involved in major hooliganism cases, involving Chelsea, Charlton, Arsenal and West Ham fans.
Yesterday Judge Rennie gave each of the defendants a six-year football banning order, except Lauder-Hawkins and Hagenstede who were slapped with similar orders last year.
Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett said: ÔÇ£I hope the sentences will deter others who think its acceptable to act in a similar way.
ÔÇ£Most people enjoy football and their good behaviour should not be marred by a mindless minority who harm and scare others."
Richard Hebberd, head of operations at Brighton and Hove Albion, said: "Neither group had any real interest in the football match taking place a few miles away.
"We welcome the verdict and sentences handed down. The majority of our supporters are a credit to the club, and it is wrong for them to see their reputation tarnished by the actions of a handful of individuals.ÔÇØ
