Football fans sentenced after brawl broke out following Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers match
Supporters of both Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers have been jailed, received extended banning orders and large fines after a fight broke out following a game.
Violence erupted in Westhoughton after the two sides faced each other in August 2023.
Following an investigation and media appeals, officers from Greater Manchester Police executed several early-morning warrants in November the same year.
Bradley Jones, 33 of Rose Avenue, Beech Hill, was jailed for three years and four months for violent disorder, which included being on bail for similar offences from the violent disorder in Southport alongside a five year football banning order (FBO).
