THREE football fans accused of taking part in a pre-arranged brawl with rival supporters have entered pleas at the Old Bailey.

Twenty one year-old Finnegan Dawson, of Percy Gardens, Hayes, appeared in court on December 23 and admitted to an affray charge. He was one of four men who entered guilty pleas.

Sentencing was adjourned until the conclusion of the trial of 14 other men allegedly involved in the clash, who denied the charge.

Amongst them were 19 year-old Steven Donovan, of Bedford Avenue, Hayes, and Joel Titus, also 19, of North View, Pinner.

Aaron Smith, 25, of Cobden Close, Uxbridge, did not turn up for the hearing, and a warrant for his arrest was issued.

They were bailed on the condition that they do not associate with each other on match days. The men, aged between 17 and 40, are to appear back in court on January 21 for a further hearing.

A trial date has not yet been fixed.

The fight between travelling Brentford and Leyton Orient fans took place at Liverpool Street station on May 8, the last day of the 2009/2010 season.
