SEVEN thugs who ran riot in a pub after a local derby between West Brom and Wolves have been jailed for a total of nine years and four months.

Glasses, stools and beer barrels were used as missiles as the rival supporters clashed at the Tamebridge pub in Great Bridge.

Riot police and the force helicopter were called to calm the ugly disturbances in front of families with children.

Wolverhampton Crown Court was told that after the game a group of Wolves fans entered the pub and they were forced out by Albion supporters who threw stools and glasses.

The trouble then moved into the pub’s beer garden with fans throwing whatever they could lay their hands on at police officers on February 20.
