FOOTBALL supporters in Wycombe have been warned that any antisocial or violent behaviour could see them banned from travelling to next year's World Cup in Germany.

Thames Valley Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have issued a fresh warning that disorderly behaviour will not be tolerated.

Thames Valley Police said it will continue to "work hard" alongside its partners and the clubs such as Wycombe Wanderers to ensure that football matches can be enjoyed safely by everybody.

Together with the Crown Prosecution Service police said they will use every available power to crack down on offenders.

Insp Pete Downing, said: "I would like to take the opportunity to send a strong message out to both home and away fans that the Thames Valley is not somewhere to take part in any form of football-related criminal behaviour."

Chief Crown Prosecutor for Thames Valley Baljit Ubhey said supporters in the region had an excellent reputation but he wanted to give football hooligans the red card from matches.

He said: "Anyone who causes trouble at a football match in Thames Valley will almost certainly be prosecuted and we will apply for a football banning order to ban them from every football ground in England and Wales for three years.

Football banning order subjects also risk having their passports taken away every time the team they support or the national teams of England or Wales play abroad.

"This means they will not be able to go to a football match abroad during those times, nor travel out of the country on holiday or business at those times."

There are 50 banning orders in place on offenders in the Thames Valley but there are none so far for supporters in Buckinghamshire.

Oxfordshire has the highest number in the Thames Valley with 16 banning orders in place.
