FOUR Barnsley fans have been handed three-year football bans following an altercation with stewards in 2019 which saw one man throw a sausage roll.
The brawl occurred at a match between the Reds and Southend at Roots Hall on March 2 - and a total of six fans were sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Monday.
It was found that Curtis Horbury, 22, of Station Road, Barnsley, threw the sausage roll and got involved with the ‘brawl’ after incorrectly hearing that stewards had hit a disabled person.
Horbury, Kyle Swann, 20, of Laithes Lane, Athersley, as well as Darren Kennett, 54, and Harvey Kennett, 19, both of Newstead Road, Athersley, admitted affray and received a three-year football ban.
Cameron Rose, 23, of Wombwell, and Jonathan Senior, 28, of Calabria Grove in Worsbrough Common, admitted a section four public order offence and received curfews for one and four months respectively.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.

Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
