Six teenagers accused of attacking a Watford football fan who was left in a coma will face a trial.

Daniel Lloyd, Joseph Lister, Robert Beech and Ryan Meer, all 18, and two boys aged 14 and 15, are each charged with one count of grievous bodily harm.

Nic Cruwys, 44, from Hemel Hempstead, was attacked on March 7 following a Watford game at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The teens will appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 2 October.

All six defendants were granted conditional bail.

Mr Cruwys suffered a serious head injury following the match at Wolverhampton's Molineux stadium.

He was walking to Wolverhampton railway station when he was assaulted near Little's Lane.

Lloyd, of Tillington Street, Stafford; Lister, of Palmer Close, Wolverhampton; Beech, of Springhill Road, Wolverhampton and Meer, of Watling Street, Gailey, were not asked to enter pleas during an appearance at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court.

The younger defendants, both from Wolverhampton, appeared at the same court but cannot be named because of their age.
