Temporary offices at Sparta stadium find fans guilty of misdemeanours during game

Meanwhile, special temporary offices set up at Sparta’s stadium dealt with cases of hooliganism on the spot during the Sparta-Baník match on Saturday afternoon. Two Baník fans were found guilty of committing a misdemeanour after being arrested for fighting in the ground, while another man also came before a Prague 7 misdemeanours commission. A temporary court was also in place but did not sit as the offences were not deemed sufficiently serious. A court official said the measure, being tried out for the first time, had proved effective in deterring trouble. There has been violence between the two clubs’ fans several times in recent years.
