Three men have been given football banning orders following disorder at the Blackpool v Blackburn Rovers derby game at Bloomfield Road in August.
The trio appeared before Blackpool Magistrates Court this week in connection with items being thrown inside the ground towards the Blackburn fans.
Chris Jones, 21, of Chislehurst Avenue, Blackpool, Donald Pollock, 31, of Malvern Avenue, Blackpool, and Jack Oldrid, 33, of Beattock Place, Blackpool, all pleaded guilty to a Section 5 public order act offence and throwing missiles adjacent to a football pitch.
They were given three-year football banning orders.
Investigations into disorder at the game are ongoing and several Blackburn fans have also been arrested since the game and are due to appear in court in the coming weeks.
PC Stacey Hardy, West Dedicated Football Officer, said: “We won’t tolerate disorder inside football stadiums and we welcome the banning orders.
“We want stadiums to be safe places for people to enjoy watching football.”
