West Ham United and the Metropolitan Police would like to update supporters on the progress of Operation Balconi - set up to investigate the football-related violence and disorder around the Millwall match on 25 August 2009.
On 18 March 2010, Andrew Tatlow (26.01.1968) of Bankside Drive, Surrey received a ten-year football banning order and 20 months in prison at Inner London Crown for violent disorder at the Carling Cup match on Tuesday 25 August 2009.
The game was an evening kick-off and throughout the day there were several incidents of disorder outside the ground and in the ground, including three pitch invasions.
Supt Sean Vickers said: "We have been working very closely with West Ham United to identify offenders, demonstrating that we will not tolerate any levels of violence around matchdays.
"A lot of hard work and hours has been put in by Newham police and I am pleased to see that justice is being served."
To date police have arrested approximately 85 people, the majority of whom have been charged, convicted and received banning orders preventing them from attending any football matches for three years or more.
