I think that I heard that a “supporter” who caused injury by throwing a glass bottle at another game was already on a life ban. I guess if you can smuggle flares past security, a bottle is no problem.
A FA official on the wireless this morning was at great pains to point out that none of the banned tossers, or those facing bans, were subject to previously issued bans. He also said that clubs would be sanctioned if banned supporters attended games.
My understanding is that the bans cover playing and spectating at all levels.
It will be interesting to see how it is enforced and, yes, it may require facial recognition or, at the very least, security guards with a rogues’ gallery scrapbook.
