Wembley ban for anti-social fans on day of England v Scotland game Anti-social football fans will be banned from the area around Wembley Stadium under new police powers for the day of the England v Scotland tie. Officers around the London ground will be granted the abilities to target groups of two or more supporters under the dispersal zone set up by Brent police and council. Under the bye-law, police constables and community support officers will be able to ban problem fans from the area around Wembley for 24 hours. Anyone who has been barred but then returns to the area and is caught could face three years imprisonment or up to a £2500 fine for contravening the dispersal order. The police and council said the move was in response to the residents and business owners complaints about anti-social behaviour on match days at Wembley. This included fans loitering in large groups, aggressive and intimidating behaviour to staff at local shops, urinating in communal areas and littering. Sergeant Pete Goodchild, of the Tokyngton Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "We will continue to carry out high visibility patrols in the area and target offenders. It is our aim, that every resident, business or visitor in Wembley enjoys the right to live and work in peace without being harassed, alarmed or distressed. We will continue to work to identify those responsible and deal with them robustly. The dispersal zone will be enforced for the entire day on Wednesday, when Scotland take on England in a friendly at Wembley. It is the first time the nations have met since a Euro 2000 qualifier in 1999. Councillor Aslam Choudry, lead member for crime prevention and public safety in Brent, added: "Having the national stadium on our doorstep is very exciting but it's important that we prioritise making sure that there's as little disruption as possible for local residents. The council supports orders that mean Brent residents can feel comfortable and safe on event days and that the excitement of those days positively enhances the borough. On Wednesday, STV will be showing the England v Scotland game live on air and online with coverage starting at 7.30pm ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
