Shrewsbury Town FC has been affected by a fan's misbehavior, resulting in a three-year football banning order. Daniel Perkins, a 30-year-old Shrewsbury man, pleaded guilty to possession of class A drugs and pitch invasion at a Shrewsbury game in January 2025.
What happened?
Perkins invaded the pitch and was found with drugs, leading to a guilty plea and a subsequent banning order. The order, handed down by Telford Magistrates Court, prohibits Perkins from attending any football match in the UK and traveling abroad when England plays away.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
The banning order serves as a deterrent to those who consider disrupting the safety and enjoyment of the game. PC Chris Rayment, the dedicated football officer for Shrewsbury Town FC, emphasized the importance of maintaining a safe environment for fans, players, and officials.
