I'd agree with the comments below Epsom, get every one of the parents to email their MP with details of the case and what's happening and ask for them to take this up urgently with the Foreign Office. Then the parents need to phone the office number of the MPs until they speak to one of their staff. People are rightly sceptical about MPs but in circumstances like this they can often be very useful.

If theyve not got the evidence then theres no way they can justify not bailing them

So there isn't enough evidence but they still have to pay a 10K fine each. Sounds well fair.

Presumably they have their MP and, by extension, the Foreign Office involved?
With the best will in the world, this requires more than a whip round by fans.

Thanks for the support so far, latest update from Zagreb:
The prosecutor does not have enough evidence and is counting on a deal where they plead guilty and pay a 10K fine each.
If they plead not guilty then they remain on remand in Zagreb for up to 8 months until the case is heard.
Over the next few weeks the solicitors and the prosecutors need to come to an agreement on this.
Thanks for those that have donated, please share the link and lets try and raise the awareness and the amount. The earliest these boys will be home is a few weeks yet with at best a guilty plea, 10k fine, massive impact on them and their families for being in wrong place at wrong time.

Wrong place at the wrong time.Could have happened to any one of us.Certainly if it was me I would hope that my West Ham brothers and sisters would rally round and help.Need to chip in and help theses people.I heard one is only 19 and was in the toilet when it all kicked off.-Now in a prison on his own in a foreign country.-Enough to destroy anyone,let alone a young lad.

Could be a grim situation if they have to stay behind the door waiting for any court case. May also lose their jobs back home too. Will donate to this.

Only pop on to read every now and then but have donated and I urge all other hammers to do the same, this could so easily happen to any West ham fan.

It's bent. It's not acceptable and it's unnecessary.
Say a few get slapped at Westfield in December.. They wouldn't get remanded here. No chance.

I don’t know what they have been charged with. The OB out in Zagreb were very organised, football violence is a priority out there, similar to how it was here 30 years ago hence not releasing on bail.
The 4 lads in the 20’s were wrong place wrong time when the OB flew in and nicked anyone near the incident. The donations are to ensure that the right lawyers can help and quickly.
Personally I have been in a similar situation so have helped.
Parents will be worried so anything we can do to help will be welcome.
They are good kids..

Quick update from the organiser of the just giving page to raise funds for the lads still in croatia.
The boys are innocent and were wrongfully arrested by the Croatian police however have been denied bail and are looking at some time inside before being sentenced.
Please help if you can and spread the link below.

Most of Wednesday DZ were scouting the bars That West Ham were in, 2s and 3s popping round just generally monitoring. As the evening wore on their numbers grew and they just carried on making it clear they were there...
Then one of the West Ham lads fronted the DZ group and it kicked off with a DZ fan, out cold.
OB in pronto and nicked those in or around the Immediate proximity...
The last I heard they are still out there banged up.
