Our "friends" down the road will be disappointed to only come second in our league last year. Must try harder.

    Interesting, thanks for posting.

    I wonder if Slater was one of the 17 arrests at 3 matches in Europe for Manc City :-)
  • Nuneaten have always been 'naughty'.
    The non-league scene is very active these days.
    You have to bear in mind a lot of the arrests are not for actual violence.
    These are always misleading and all it does it convince the public that hooliganism is still rife (its not) and enables the police to request more budget to deal with an exagerrated problem.
    Expect a rise in arrests leading up to the WC as is the norm.
  • Interesting stats, though absolute numbers are sometimes a bit misleading taken out of context. Proves football is largely gentrified. Unless you are a Leeds fan.
  • The arrests are broken down by offences

    So we had 10 for public disorder, 3 for fireworks and one for breaching a banning order but none for violent disorder, racist chanting or pitch invasions.

    Overall it seems more than 50% of arrests for violent or public disorder and throwing missiles.

    Also after all the fuss and excuses by Croydon police CAFC arrests far less that Palace's.

    Only club in the Champ not to have a 'violent disorder' arrest last season.

    Can't even get that right

    Powell out
  • What's up with the Bristol City fans? mentalists!

    Aside from them though - it's the usual suspects at the upper echelons

    Bear in mind that the usual suspects will tend to have greater police numbers present at their games, therefore more chance of any trouble being witnessed & arrests taking place and those usual suspects will also have opposing teams more up for having a pop, increasing chances of being nicked as well.

    You could have two lower risk teams having a row, but no arrests result from it because of much lower police presence etc.

    And some teams don't even need opposition fans.

  • I would put them in the 'usual suspects' category Swisdom.
    That said they had a big derby game. A one off game like that can really skew the figures.

    No injustice, just that the figures don't tell the whole story, we could be a lot worse than arrest figures suggest!
  • Old moody dave in court for fighting on the streets at the age of 40. Pwoppa nawty moody boat dave
  • Some figures are really a surprising - 27 banning orders at Scunthorpe!

    The ticket touting at Millwall made me chuckle.

    Those arrests were all at Nuneaton v Lincoln

    And Scunthorpe!
  • Those that bemoan our away support should note we had more arrested away than at home.

    When the West Ham fans are in the Millwall crowd again and get arrested does that go on the Millwall statistics or West Ham?
  • Anyone who believed that needed their head testing.

    Lost me there.
  • SLP trying to defend millwall yet again today, saying the vast majority of spanner arrests was at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi-final, yet the table says "Millwall 67 (arrests) 34 (Home) 33 (Away)."
  • Newcastle, 156 arrests at home matches with 114 of them for violent disorder! That's a huge amount.

    Wonder how many of those were from just the Sunderland game?

    I should think most of them. Punching a horse like Mungo in Blazing Saddles probably counted as violent conduct.
  • The figures are misleading though. Most (and possibly all) of that trouble was in Newcastle town centre before and after the game. A lot of the arrested probably weren't even at the actual game.
  • Just to prove how misleading these figures are,mI'm pretty sure all those at Nuneaton were detained and arrested before there game with Lincoln. And im pretty sure they were later all released without charge.

    Still it justifies the over the top policing, silly kick off times etc we have to endure, so everyone (apart from the paying fan) is happy.
  • Even if the figures weren't misleading, or if there was 'actual' trouble it seemed to occur during the games that you would expect it, the crime figures are very low. I don't know if that's because of the Police's heavy handedness or in spite of it. Or mainly due to exorbitant ticket prices.

    As you say, doesn't talk about those released without charge or those where convictions weren't gained.
