A father and son returning from a Leeds United match attacked a man on a train and then the platform after he told them he was a Manchester United fan.
Alan Gerstmar rained “four or five punches” on the man’s face after “banter” in the carriage became heated. The scuffle then continued on the platform at Wakefield Kirkgate where Gerstmar’s son, Bradley, became involved and also threw punches. Presiding at Leeds Crown Court, Judge Andrew Stubbs said: “Drunken football-related violence taking place on a train and spilling out onto the platform is worth prison. 'You both should be ashamed of what you did.
Alan and Bradley, of Margaret Road, Darfield, Barnsley, both gave no-comment interviews during their interview with the British Transport Police. They gave another no-comment interview six months later. They both admitted affray. Pre-sentence reports said the pair had been drinking in pubs before the match. They had been season tickets holders for 17 years. Alan said he was “ashamed of his actions”. He has three previous convictions for five offences.
