LIFETIME bans are being imposed on the 21 fans who shamed Burnley FC following a rampage directed at Sheffield Wednesday supporters at the town's Miners Club.

Club chief executive Lee Hoos has confirmed that there will be no place at Turf Moor for all those involved in the outbreak of violence at the Plumbe Street venue in January 2014.

Several CCTV stills were released from inside the ground, taken during the Championship fixture, when Lancashire Police issued a public appeal to find the troublemakers responsible.

Mr Hoos said: "It is our intention to give lifetime bans to all of those involved in this mindless act of violence.

"Naturally we will cross-check our database and put these bans in place.

"These people are clearly not fans and there is no place for them at Burnley Football Club."

Prosecutors at Preston Crown Court noted that there were 'Suicide Squad' chants by the mob, with thugs throwing empty pint pots and brandishing broken furniture in the stand-off with Wednesday fans.

One wheelchair supporter was left with a leg injury and an 11-year-old suffered a head wound, as young families and bar staff in the Benedictine Bar were left trapped by the ugly confrontation.

Twenty-one fans, from Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale and Rochdale, were eventually convicted of violent disorder. 

Nineteen were given jail sentences ranging from five months to 22 months, one 17-year-old from Barrowford was sent to youth custody and one given a suspended prison sentence after a series of crown court hearings.

Judge Heather Lloyd, who presided over the court sessions, had already imposed football banning orders, ranging from six to 10 years, and everyone convicted of involvement, which would automatically prevent them from going to Turf Moor or any other football ground in England and Wales.
