A man has been found guilty of threatening and abusive behaviour during a volatile Norwich City away match earlier this season.

Christopher Roe, 43, was one of four Canaries supporters arrested after a 1-1 draw at Coventry City on October 7 that saw scuffles and arguments in the away end.

An 11-year-old girl was also struck with a £1 coin which was thrown into the home seating in the final moments of the game, as Coventry celebrated an 88th-minute equaliser thanks to a Ben Gibson own goal.

Roe, of Lister Street in Nuneaton, was charged after being arrested for a public order offence in the aftermath of the game.

He failed to appear at a hearing at Coventry Magistrates’ Court but was found guilty in his absence of using threatening and abusive words and behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

He was fined £660 by magistrates.

A separate incident of disorder on a bus involving two men, aged 52 and 33, and a 14-year-old boy is still being investigated by police.

A man who was initially arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated offence has been released with no further action and inquiries into suspected assaults in the away end have also finished with no further action.

Norwich supporters were the third best behaved fans in the Championship last season with just nine arrests.

Anger among a minority of the Norwich fans at the Coventry Building Society Arena shocked those in attendance, with some players exchanging words with supporters as tempers flared.

Coventry's late equaliser left David Wagner's team with one win in five matches.

Four straight defeats followed but an upturn in results since has seen the Canaries' fortunes improve.

They remain in contention for a play-off place, with Coventry City one of their main rivals.
