ROBBIE Fowler has been convicted of causing fear of violence during Exeter City's opening game of the season – and is facing a football banning order hearing next month.
The 18-year-old, who lives in Portsmouth, pleaded guilty to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour with intent to cause threat of violence in Exeter on August 9.
He was given a three month curfew order and will be electronically monitored. He must also pay £145 in costs and a victim surcharge.
The incident took place during Exeter City's first game of the season against Portsmouth at St James' Park that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Fowler also faces a football banning order hearing as he is alleged to have caused or contributed to violence or disorder, namely committing a public order offence under section 14B of the Football Spectator Act. That was adjourned for the defendant to reappear at Exeter Magistrates Court for a plea and case management on October 22.
