The per capita number for Millwall would be interesting given the rest of the “top five all have very large attendances whilst Millwalls are dismal.clive said:1 -

Looking at these figures it confirms to me football was much safer in the 80's.........

Nice picture of our ground on the FSA's page on the data release.

As far as I can tell our arrests figure was 21 and banning orders 10. Presumably the arrests figure did not include a certain ex-owner on fraud charges.....

3.5x more likely to get arrested at Glastonbury than at a football ground.
Always knew those hippy types were the real hooligans3 -

Apologies if I've missed it, is that 21 Charlton supporters arrested or 21 arrests at The Valley ?cafcfan said:Nice picture of our ground on the FSA's page on the data release.

Disappointed they were not higher?MillwallFan said:6 -
And here's the thing Sam, the police (again) are saying it costs them £70mn to police matches and clubs must pay more. Of course, this figure is a lie. If not at a match the plod would just be sitting back at the nick eating doughnuts. They'd still be getting paid. They'd be arguing "what about the overtime". They like to call themselves professionals but tell me another profession that pays overtime. It's a fatuous argument. The taxpayer pays for all other policing costs at major events (on public land).sam3110 said:3.5x more likely to get arrested at Glastonbury than at a football ground.

Just by way of example, one event, the Notting Hill Carnival costs the Met about 16% of the total cost of all football matches everywhere in England. That's 2,036 games plus 218 cup matches. Someone should tell the plod to swivel on it.2 -
But your away supporters figure would be very low as your "lot away from home never make trouble"MillwallFan said:1 -
How have West Ham ended up with 120 fans on banning orders?!0

A very naive view on policing.Not all are on overtime if at football and they aren’t sitting around doing nothing if not at the football.The Notting Hill carnival is a massive undertaking that means police can’t take leave and must attend for very long hours and not all time is paid overtime. Police from outside of London are brought in to assist.2

Think it may have to do with protesting against the owners.se9addick said:How have West Ham ended up with 120 fans on banning orders?!1 -

When most grounds we visit these days look like soulless, uninteresting, cheap flat-pack boxes from the outside The Valley somehow has an architectural, interesting creativity about it when you look at it from that angle. Give it a few more years and someone will slap a World Heritage Site label on it and English Heritage will want a preservation order in place to prevent the third tier expansion…cafcfan said:Nice picture of our ground on the FSA's page on the data release.

Unfortunately, like all clubs, we have a few nutters who go to games purely because they want a fight. Even with banning orders, they still make it in as they just get a mate to buy a ticket for them.killerandflash said:

There are costs in Policing football which are not covered by clubs and therefore are essentially covered by you and me, e.g the taxpayer.cafcfan said:

Some people might be fine with that, however when you see clubs spending hundreds of millions a year on players and wages it does feel a reasonable argument that they should fund all of the police operation and not just some of it.
If you take the figure of £70 million at face value that is £70 million that could be spent elsewhere. There always seems to be plenty of money to go round in football on players, wages, severance agreements, transfer fees etc so why shouldn't some of that money go towards the cost of policing the games?
In reference to overtime, anyone who is expected to come in on days off, start their shift early or finish late should be fairly recompensed surely? I personally don't know anyone who would do any of those things for free regardless of their profession.0
