Three football supporters have been issued with banning orders for incidents of disorder at matches last year involving Crawley Town FC.
Following investigations by Sussex Police’s Football Unit, Liam Green, Benjamin Lanceley and Yai Prentice were convicted and issued with Football Banning Orders that last for three years. This prohibits the individuals from attending a football fixture, or the celebrations in the local area prior or post match.
Green was involved in a disorder during a match between Crawley Town and Sutton United. Lanceley and Prentice were involved in an incident in Cleveland during a fixture between Crawley Town and Hartlepool. All three are residents of Crawley.
Crawley Town slip to eleventh place in the League Two table following their 1-0 defeat against Salfords on Saturday. The Reds are one place below AFC Wimbledon whom they travel to face next weekend.

Sussex all-rounder Fynn Hudson-Prentice has signed a contract extension.
The 27-year-old – who came through the club’s youth ranks before making his debut as a teenager in 2015 – will now remain at Hove until the end of 2026.
He returned to Sussex in 2021 after two years at Derbyshire and averaged nearly 49 in the County Championship last season, with nine half-centuries.
“I am delighted to have signed an extension with my boyhood club,” he told the club website.
“I’m really enjoying working with Paul Farbrace and I am excited for what the future holds with the group of players we have here.”
In addition to scoring 879 County Championship runs in 2023, Hudson-Prentice also claimed 20 wickets as Sussex finished third in Division Two.
“We are delighted Fynn has committed his next three seasons to the club, he epitomises everything we are trying to create on and off the field,” head coach Farbrace said.
“He is one of the most dedicated players I have had the pleasure of working with. He works extremely hard to give himself the best chance of success on the field.
“Fynn had an excellent all round season this year, and we all look forward to his continued development as a player. He is a genuine three-in-one player, and is continually looking to improve his skills.”
In addition to scoring 879 red-ball runs Hudson-Prentice also claimed 20 wickets as Sussex finished third in Division Two, seeing him named the club’s Men’s Championship Player of the Year and also being awarded his County Cap.
