Three men have been charged after disorder in Wolverhampton city centre following Wolves' home win over Stoke City, West Midlands Police said. The accused are aged 64, 54 and 37. A fourth man, aged 55, was arrested at a police station on suspicion of affray.
Charges and bail conditions
West Midlands Police said: "Three men have been charged after disorder broke out in Wolverhampton city centre following a football match."
The men charged with offences were released on bail to appear at Dudley Magistrates' Court next month, with conditions stopping them going to football matches and being in the city centre. Police also said the 64-year-old was charged with obstructing and assaulting a police officer.
Scene after the match
Videos circulating on social media showed confrontations between fans on Lichfield Street. The disorder followed Wolves' home win over Stoke City at Molineux Stadium on 29 August.
Wolves finished 20th in the Premier League and collected 20 points, a grim season that ended with a five-game league run of DDLDL. Those numbers do not explain what happened in Wolverhampton, but they do show the backdrop to a club already under pressure on and off the pitch.
The charged men are due at Dudley Magistrates' Court next month, with football and city-centre restrictions already in place.
