Tonight, the drunken football fans who brought terror to a railway | :00:23. | :00:23. | |
station. First, tonight: why we should let rippers itself | :00:24. | :00:45. | |
drench and not do it ourselves. Why one of Nottingham's oldest churches | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
is taking inspiration from a modern`day artists. | :00:49. | :01:01. | |
This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and, me, Anne Davies. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Tonight, the drunken football fans who brought terror to a railway | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
station. First, tonight: a judge has condemned a group of Nottingham | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Forest football fans for starting a mass brawl with rival Doncaster | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
supporters. Today, four men were sent to prison. One of the | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
supporters, described as a respected grandfather and former town | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
councillor, was jailed for a year. He admitted throwing a bottle at a | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
20`year`old man's face scarring him for life. The fight broke out on a | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
train as fans travelled back from London, last year. The court heard | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
the violence was fuelled by alcohol. Sarah Teale reports from Nottingham | :01:32. | :01:32. | |

At Newark Northgate train station last April, three Nottingham Forest | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
fans returning from the Millwall game clashed with seven Doncaster | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
Rovers supporters. Rowdy behaviour began on the journey, then one of | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
the Forest group rang friends for back`up. Five other men turned up at | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
the station intent, the court heard, on violence and disorder. Mayhem | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
ensued. Fans were spitting at each other, shouting threats and abuse, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
exchanging punches and kicks, and throwing cans and bottles. As the | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
violence erupted, a female passenger was seen cowering in fear. A | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
customer service employee tried to intervene and was threatened with | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
being thrown under the train. The witnesses described a scene of | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
violence between two rival groups who couldn't care who else got | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
involved. One 20`year`old Doncaster fan | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
received serious facial injuries and will be scarred for life, after a | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
shattered bottle hit him in the face. It was thrown by 54`year`old | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Steve Marsden from Newark. This was him arriving at Nottingham Crown | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Court, today, where the judge was told he was of good character, a | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
father, grandfather and former town councillor. He was jailed for one | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
year after admitting causing grievous bodily harm. Also jailed | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
for a year, was 48`year`old Christopher Cox from Coddington ` | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
the principal ringleader, along with 25`year`old Danny Smalley and | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
31`year`old Jamie Johnston, both from Newark. The judge said was | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
clear that Nottingham Forest fans bore the brunt of the responsibility | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
for what he called disgraceful violence. When sentencing, he told | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
them, I've read reference after reference telling me about your good | :03:28. | :03:30. | |

who assaulted an 85`year`old woman, leaving her with horrific bruises, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |

called in the police. Battered and bruised ` these are | :04:20. | :04:22. | |

My mum thought she'd been forgotten, and it was breakfast time, so she | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
rang her buzzer. The care worker came storming back into the room, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
screaming into my mother's face that she comes when she's ready. She | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
grabbed her arm, and round the back of the neck, and said, stay there, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
and you'll wait until I'm ready. She punched her in the chest and pushed | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
her back into her wheelchair. Managers here say that Frith had | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
worked here for five years, and had never had any problems in the past. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
When questioned about what had happened, she said that she had | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
simply lost it. Frith, who's 29, was immediately suspended last October. | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
Today, Edna's daughters visited the home to tell her that Frith was | :05:21. | :05:23. | |

Coming up later: A look at the weekend weather with Anna. | :05:47. | :06:01. | |
If you have outdoor plans this weekend, there will be plenty of dry | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
weather. But if you're after a sunshine, 0 | :06:08. | :06:07. | |
weather. But if you're after a sunshine, you are in luck. Saturday | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
is looking promising. More details shortly. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
The daughter and son`in`law of an elderly couple found buried in their | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
back garden in Mansfield, have pleaded not guilty to murder. The | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
remains of William and Patricia Wycherley were discovered in | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
October. They hadn't been seen for fifteen years. Tests revealed they'd | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
been shot. At Nottingham Crown Court, Susan and Christopher Edwards | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
denied two charges of murder. Their trial is due to start in June. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
A Nottingham man who went missing more than three years ago has been | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
found safe and well. 27`year`old Stuart Higham was last seen in | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Mapperley Park in January 2011, after spending time with friends. It | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
was thought that he may have travelled to Europe. Officers have | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
now confirmed he's been discovered in Germany. His family's been told. | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
The East Midlands is becoming nationally known for its efforts to | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
use stem cells to treat people with blood cancers. The region now has | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
four Anthony Nolan centres which gather blood from the umbilical | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
cords of new`born babies. That's more than the rest of the country | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
put together. The first units opened in Leicester in 2010. Today, two | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
more were unveiled ` this time in Nottingham. James 0 | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
more were unveiled ` this time in Nottingham. James Roberson has more. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Taking her daily tablets is a task that 67`year`old Gladys Smith | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
doesn't mind. 18 months ago, she needed a bone marrow transplant for | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
her leukaemia, but no relative was a match. Instead, she had two | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
cordblood transplants to combat the illness. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
After the transplant, it took a little while ` I'm still quite | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
tired, but quite quickly you start to pick up. I'm fine. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Gladys wouldn't be here without staff like Penny Cole from the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Anthony Nolan charity. At the QMC's maternity unit in Nottingham, Penny | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
brings another donated the centre to a brand`new centre for technicians | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
called cordblood collectors. ``donated placenta. The blood from | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
the umbilical chord contains stem cells, as valuable as bone marrow in | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
battling leukaemia. The stem cells are highly adaptable, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
so they can be used to treat a number of conditions. They can be of | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
vital use for people who don't have a related stem cell donor. | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
There are already Anthony Nolan collection centres at the Leicester | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
Royal Infirmary and the last general. Now, another new one is | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
also opening as the Nottingham city. This nurse specialises in blood | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
disorders. Also pregnant, she is planning to donate her baby's | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
umbilical cord blood when she gives birth. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
I look after patients who will be having transplants, so I'm aware of | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
how important it is to get stem cells from umbilical cord is or from | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
the bone marrow register. When I heard that the hospital would be | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
starting this programme, I was excited by the opportunity to donate | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
my baby's umbilical cord. There is another child constantly | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Gladys's minds. Somewhere, there is a little man | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
running around he was trying to talk, who I am totally ` I can't | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
tell anybody how much that Littlechild has done for me. | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
That's so nice! Professor Nigel Russell from the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
City Hospital in Nottingham. How significant is the opening of the | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
two collection centres in Nottingham today? | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
I think it's of great significance. Nottingham is the home of the core | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
cord blood bank itself. We will be able to feed into that with the | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
donations. You do have to get permission from | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
the mothers, don't you? Yes, of course. They gave full | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
consent for the process. There is no harm for the mother or baby. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Why is there such a concentration of these centres in the East Midlands? | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
I think because of the core Lloyds Bank location, that's one thing. `` | :10:30. | :10:41. | |
core blood bank location. They can be sent to any 0 | :10:42. | :10:42. | |
core blood bank location. They can be sent to any transplant centre in | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
the United Kingdom, or abroad. We saw what a difference it has made | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
from that lovely lady. Do we know everything about the benefits of | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
stem cells, or is there more to learn? | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
We are on an early learning curve with the use of cord blood | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
transplants. Our patients have done fantastically well, so we're really | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
pleased. If it's mainly leukaemia? | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
Some rare congenital diseases can also be treated with cord blood | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
transplants. Could it ever be an automatic thing | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
when a baby is born that cord blood is donated? | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Some of the cord blood is used had been stored for several years | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
already. It can be frozen, and they can pull it off the shelf and take | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
it straight to the transplant centre. The process becomes much | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
more rapid. Thank you very much. Police in | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
Lincolnshire say they'll maintain a business as normal approach in | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Grantham tomorrow during a planned march by a right`wing group and a | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
counter`demonstration. Members of the English Defence | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
League will be escorted by a large number of police. This report from | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
our Political Editor John Hess. The English Defence League has | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
protested at what it sees as a growing Islamic influence in the UK. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
This was Nottingham in 2009. There were 11 arrest, and the police | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
operation cost ?1 million. In Grantham, diversions are already in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
place for the image defence league March. The marchers will be escorted | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
by up to 200 police. `` English Defence League. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
We have been asked why we haven't banned these marchers from going | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
ahead. We live in a free society, and we have to allow people to | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
peaceably protest. Having allowed them to do that, it is still `` it | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
is still safe for people to go about their business. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Will that persuade local residents? Not far from here, plans for Islamic | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
centre are being made. I don't see why they are marching. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Everyone is entitled to their own religious views. If they open a new | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Catholic Church, will they march for that? | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
I won't be in town ` no way. Grantham's MP says the EDL marches | :13:34. | :13:34. | |

the traffic can flow. As parts of the country recover from | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
the recent devastating floods, a group of leading environmentalists | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
has told the government that better water management could have | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
prevented some of the recent damage. Their advice comes as a river | :13:54. | :13:55. | |

dredging is not always the answer and that a natural solution is far | :14:03. | :14:05. | |

Over the past few weeks, Britain has taken a battering. The devastating | :14:11. | :14:15. | |

Those affected question why the swollen rivers haven't been | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
regularly dredged. But not everyone thinks man`made dredging is the | :14:27. | :14:28. | |

shape, as it flows through Market Harborough, and to encourage more | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
wildlife to return. The trust says the surrounding land also draining | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
into rivers have to be managed differently. | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
We need to work on ways to encourage farmers, be it paying them, through | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
any kind of stewardship schemes ` things that we can do to get them to | :15:38. | :15:42. | |

that, in future, the Welland will slow all year instead of stagnating | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
in the summer. People in a Derbyshire town could be the ones to | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
decide how it looks in the future. The local council in Ripley wants to | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
hold a public referendum ` so people can have a say about where | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
developers can and can't build. It's thought that could alter the plans | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
which the borough council has for the area. The referendum idea will | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
be considered next month by Amber Valley Council. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
The story of Richard the Third's rise and fall is to be told at a | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Conference at the University of Leicester this weekend. The event | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
will include talks from the team of experts who located, unearthed and | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
identified the King's remains. They were found under a council car park | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
in the city over a year ago. Meanwhile, the hunt is on now to | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
find a new manager to run Leicester's Richard the Third | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Visitor Centre. Still to come ` taking art off the | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
wall and walking all over it. We've been to one of the oldest Churches | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
in the East Midlands which now has a rather special floor. | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
First, could this be the year that our sleeping football giants return | :17:02. | :17:13. | |
to the Premier League? Leicester, Derby and Forest all in the top five | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
in the Championship. But what are the odds? One bookmaker tonight says | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
7`1. A good price! Could it really happen? Angela Rafferty reports. | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
All three teams are pushing for promotion. All three teams sitting | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
pretty in the top five. If it's the Premier League you're aiming for, | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
the East Midlands is the place to be. | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
You need one of these Midland teams in the Premier League. Leicester are | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
the favourites at the moment, Nottingham Forest are fighting | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
behind. It's going to be a very interesting end to the season, I | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
think. 0 think. | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
It's been years since one of our teams have been in the top flight, | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
but could this be the season that all that will finally change? | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
You're talking about three huge clubs. You're talking about clubs | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
that are great rivals. It's always nice for the area, and for the clubs | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
and the supporters to have that rivalry. | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
We understand what it means to our fans, and I'm sure all three clubs | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
would like to finish higher than each other. | :18:35. | :18:47. | |
It's good for the local area, but I'd like to see off on top. Whether | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
we can catch Leicester, I don't know. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
All three East 0 know. | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
All three East Midlands clubs going up ` it will be amazing, won't it? | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
As long as Leicester go up, I'd like to see Forest and Derby go up with | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
us. Still, 15 games to go and everything | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
to play for. Could Premier League football finally be back in these | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Midland? And might Leicester, Forest and Derby all be playing there? | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
Well, in League One, Notts County have their own big challenge, to | :19:17. | :19:20. | |

stay in the division. Tomorrow, they've dropped ticket prices to get | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
fans behind the team as they take on fellow relegation rivals Shrewsbury. | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Manager Shaun Derry says it's a six`pointer. A win could lift them | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
out of the bottom four and put them five points above the Shrews. | :19:31. | :19:33. | |

Tonight, the club are hosting a special 80th birthday party for the | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
legendary BBC Radio Nottingham commentator Colin Slater. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
He's been reporting on Notts for more than 50 years and Derry says | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
hopefully many more years to come. You talk about Notts County and | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Colin Slater in the same breath. He is very much part of this family, | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
and congratulations to Colin. I'm sure he will have many more years to | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
be working for Notts County as a reporter. A big thank you to him, | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
because he is a fantastic guy, and a fantastic supporter, as well. | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
In League Two, Paul Cox's Mansfield are at home tomorrow too. The Stags | :20:11. | :20:13. | |

skater Elise Christie ` her medal hopes are over after she failed to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
make it through to the finals of the 1,000metres after being | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
disqualifiued again by the judges. Kirsty has more. | :20:30. | :20:41. | |
The cruellest of sports with the finest of margins. Team`mates and | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
friends have gathered for all of Belize Christie's events. This was | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
the incident that saw her missing out on this evening's final. | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
I blocked her early, and she still kept going. Fair enough ` everyone | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
is trying to qualify! Honest to God, I was pretty sure she hit me from | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
behind. She was subjected to awful abuse on | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
social media. She was hoping to put that behind her today, which dreams | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
of Olympic glory have ended a nightmare. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
I really wanted to bounce back. This was my last chance. To have it taken | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
away, it's just devastating. I will come back in four years, and I will | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
try again. I'll be working hard! In rugby, the Leicester Tigers will | :21:42. | :21:45. | |

Challenge Cup final have been confirmed. Nottingham Panthers | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
travel to Belfast for the first leg on Friday 21st March. The return leg | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
at the National Ice Centre will take place four days later. | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
And one of Britain's best known sportsmen will be on the starting | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
line at the National Cross Country Championships in Nottingham | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
tomorrow. Former World Triathlon Champion and Olympic bronze medal | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
winner Jonny Brownlee will be part of the field at Wollaton Park. | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
Jonny's using it as preparation for the triathlon season which begins | :22:17. | :22:30. | |
next month. At the start line of the race, it's | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
going to be absolutely incredible. I haven't done a lot of cross country | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
over the last two years, because of my injury. We'll wait and see how it | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
goes. I'm looking forward to it. There will be 8000 runners alongside | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
him from across the country. Finally, tonight, one of the oldest | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
churches in the East Midlands has just had a bit of a spruce`up. St | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Mary's in Nottingham's Lace Market has a new floor, courtesy of a | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
leading contemporary artist. The unveiling of the design coincides | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
with an exhibition of her work, also on display in the city as Geeta | :23:11. | :23:20. | |

This is a tradition that started in the Middle Ages. Usually, you would | :23:57. | :24:03. | |

the scale of what we are walking on. Her work is also on exhibition at | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
the Lakeside arts Centre for eight weeks. It's hoped that the new floor | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
will be here for centuries. It looks fabulous, doesn't it? We | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
are very lucky to have such great galleries in our area. If you | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
haven't been to Saint Mary 's, it really is worth a visit! | :25:04. | :25:15. | |
Let's talk about the weather. It's probably been the quietest weeks | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
since the start of the year. We've had some dry weather, some sunshine, | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
and also a good scattering of showers. This has allowed for some | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
beautiful rainbows to form across the 0 | :25:31. | :25:30. | |
beautiful rainbows to form across the East Midlands. Many of you have | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
been rather taken by them. Here is just a small selection of your | :25:37. | :25:37. | |
pictures. Thank you to all of you for sending | :25:38. | :26:08. | |
them in. It has been spectacular. We will have more on our Facebook page | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
tomorrow. Let's talk about the weekend weather. A lot of dry | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
weather around. Saturday looks the best, with lots of sunshine. It's | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
breezy throughout, with strong, strengthening winds on Sunday. A few | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
showers through the afternoon, and that's how we continued through the | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
evening. They slowly started to fizzle out, so I dry end to the | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
Knights. Temperatures will drop down to a low of four degrees tonight. | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
There are maybe a little bit of grass frost in rural areas. There | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
will be some lovely sunshine throughout the morning tomorrow. We | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
do start to see more in the way of cloud in the afternoon. It may | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
produce one or two showers. But I suspect we will remain generally | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
dry. A high`temperature of nine, but it is a breezy day with | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
south`westerly winds. On Sunday, the cloud is producing some patchy, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
light rain and drizzle. Keep an eye on this area of rain, which starts | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
moving during the evening. The winds will strengthen, so strong, gusty | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
winds. That's how we start the new week ` a very wet and windy start on | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Monday. And improvements later in the day. Your best bet is to get out | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
is tomorrow! I've never seen a whole rainbow! | :27:34. | :27:44. | |
