Cattermole banned from every pub in the district

Sunderland star Lee Cattermole has had his ban from pubs and clubs in a region of the North-East extended for another year.

The midfielder has been spotted by licensees trying to get into venues.

Cattermole, 22, was originally banned in December 2008 after he was arrested for disorder on a night out in Yarm, North Yorkshire.

Stockton Pubwatch members – licensees who act to keep out troublemakers – voted to extend the ban.

Pubwatch chair Steve Paling said: “Members have voted unanimously. As licensees we are not prepared to take it any longer.”

The ban would have run out in December this year, but will now be extended until December 2012.

Cleveland police said: “Breach of pub barring is a civil offence. Police do not necessarily need to know about this or be involved.”

Sunderland FC said Cattermole declined to comment on the decision.

So he had one night of shame and he's barred from every Club in the North-Est for two years? something's not adding up there.

Sound a bit familiar does it?

Not in the slightest son, my act of madness didn't result in an arrest, but even still you don't have to do an awful to spend a night in the cells.

If this info is correct then i have sympathy for Cattermole - barred from every single Club in the North-East for two whole years? by god that's harsh.

The original story

Footballers Cattermole and Bates given pub ban
Dec 17 2008 by Naomi Corrigan, Evening Gazette

BORO defender Matthew Bates and former midfielder Lee Cattermole have been banned from pubs and clubs across Stockton borough, it was confirmed today.

The pair were added to Pubwatch’s blacklist of troublemakers after being arrested for disorder during a night out in Yarm last month.

Cattermole, who received a previous warning for bad behaviour in the town, has been barred for three years and Bates for two years.

It means neither can enter most nightspots in central Stockton Yarm, Billingham or Thornaby.

If they breach the ban they could face an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo).

The decision to bar the players was made by Pubwatch’s committee following an incident outside The Keys nightclub on Yarm High Street on November 15.

Police were called by door staff about 11.40pm and the pair, along with Cattermole’s brother Gavin, were subsequently arrested. Each were given fixed penalties for a public order offence.

Chris Neil, chairman of Stockton Pubwatch and owner of the George and Dragon in Yarm, said the committee had heard that door staff were verbally abused and some members of the group became aggressive towards police.

“There is a steering group which meets with Pubwatch from the four areas to discuss any issues,” he said. “We have a set of guidelines regarding bans which depend on the seriousness of the offence.”

In December 2007 while still on Boro’s books, Cattermole was told to watch his behaviour in Stockton’s pubs and clubs or face a three-year ban.

The warning came after landlords raised complaints of a rowdy night out in Yarm involving Lee and around 15 friends. A meeting of Pubwatch was told Cattermole and others were thrown out of four pubs in the town on November 25 2007, for allegedly being abusive.

On that occasion, Pubwatch decided not to bar the Boro Academy graduate but issued the player, and two unnamed others, with “a warning”.

“One of the factors in Lee Cattermole’s case was that he had already been given a warning,” said Mr Neil today.

Pubwatch meets every three months to discuss cases of drunken, loutish and violent behaviour.

Under the scheme, a ban imposed by one pub is a ban from all Pubwatch premises in the town, and can range from six months to life.

Stockton Police licensing unit, said they monitor cases reported to them by Pubwatch but are not part of decisions regarding barring procedures - that was down to the landlords and licensees.

Sergeant Keith Daley of Stockton’s licensing unit said: “The Pubwatch scheme works very well in the Stockton area, and there are a number of people on Pubwatch bans who are fully compliant with these bans.

He said should anyone breach a Pubwatch ban, it may result in an application for an anti-social behaviour order.

Mr Neil said those barred have a right to appeal.

Both Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough FC were contacted in regard to the barring but neither returned with comment from either the players or the clubs.
