First hearing under way at Crown Court
Mason Lowe, who wears a dark jumper, looks at the public gallery several times as he rests his arms on his thighs in the dock.
He admits a charge of violent disorder relating to the trouble at Manvers on 4 August.
However, the 27-year-old denies a charge of arson with intent to endanger life.
That means a trial will take place, with the case set to be heard before the Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC (pictured above at an earlier hearing where cameras were allowed in court) in December.
