CPS and ACPO crack down on football hooligans / CPS Press Release, 12 Aug 2005

http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/pressreleases/141_05.html
"Football hooligans who cause trouble in or around grounds in the coming season have been warned they risk losing their passports.
CPS prosecutors and the police have agreed to operate a presumption in favour of prosecuting troublemakers rather than cautioning so that prosecutors can apply for a Football Banning Order. This prevents those subject to the Order attending a domestic football ground or travelling out of the country any time the England or Wales team is playing abroad."
