A Norwich City supporter has had his three-year football banning order cut short.

Saul Simpson, of Eagle Walk in the Golden Triangle area of Norwich, appeared at Norwich Magistrates Court this morning and saw his application to terminate the order granted.

The 42-year-old followed two fellow City fans - John Miller, 40, of Three Mile Lane, New Costessey, and Graham Riches, 38, of Highland Road, Norwich - in having his order ended this week.

The three were among nine who received the banning orders on December 23, 2010, in relation to an incident on Foundry bridge, near Norwich rail station, before the Norwich versus Leeds match on March 27, 2010.
