‘Frente’ members facing Calderon ban

The death of a Deportivo La Coruna ‘ultra’ in fighting before last Sunday’s La Liga match at Atletico Madrid has led to attempts at expelling all such radical ‘supporters’ from the Spanish game.

Around 200 people were involved in the pre-arranged brawl by the river Manzanares across from Atletico’s Estadio Vicente Calderon stadium.

While a police investigation into the exact circumstances continues, an autopsy found that Depor ‘ultra’ Javier Romero Taboada (widely known as Jimmy) died after being beaten most probably with an iron bar.
