Football violence down as more hooligans banned

LONDON (Reuters) - Football banning orders have been slapped on a record number of hooligans, the Home Office said on Saturday, with Leeds United fans topping the list.

In the 2005/06 season there were 3,387 hooligans subject to the orders, which prevent known trouble-makers from attending domestic and international matches.

A total of 995 were imposed during the year, making a net total rise of seven percent year-on-year after allowing for orders that have expired.

Arrests for football-related offences dipped by seven percent to 3,462 - the third consecutive season to see a fall.

"This decrease in arrests, coupled with the increase in banning orders, shows that banning orders do work," said Stephen Thomas, the Association of Chief Police Officers' spokesman on football issues.

Football Association Chief Executive Brian Barwick said the figures reflected an ongoing culture change among fans against bad behaviour.

Leeds United had a total of 115 banning orders, including an extra 20 orders imposed on its fans during the year.

Portsmouth were second with 110, followed by Cardiff City with 109.

Stoke City came next with 108 and Manchester United with 106 orders.

Stoke City also gained the largest number of orders in the year with 58.

The Premiership overtook the Championship for the largest number of arrests in the year.

There were 1,221 at Premier League games, up from 984 in 2004/05, while Championship arrests fell from to 877 from 1,047.

The club with the highest number of arrests was Tottenham Hotspur, with 169.

It was followed by Manchester United (147), Chelsea (126), Sheffield Wednesday (89), Coventry City (88) and Leeds United

(76).

Since the orders were introduced after Euro 2000, 5,173 individuals have been banned. Of those, 1,776 orders have expired.

Of the 5,173 total, just 69 individuals have subsequently been involved in football violence - which officials said was a 96 percent rehabilitation rate.

Any hooligans here in the forum?

What a surprise...Sheffield Wednesday made it into the list of arrerted fans.

In the early 80's when football was unfashionable I don't think there were any fans except the hooligans in England at least.

goldenHuddlestone · 10-24-2006, 01:43 PM

It's really only post Taylor report that Football got even remotley family friendly. Euro 96 also put it right up there as a day out for the kids.

However their does seem to be a resurrgence in recent years. As teams theat did not learn and profit from this due to the fact that they were in lower leauges at the time have now risen to bein the Champiosnhip.

there was certainly some trouble in Edinburgh after the Hibs -Hearts derby. In fact, the Hibs casuals are one of the UK's most notorious 'firms'. Most trouble takes place outside of the grounds now but hooliganism, like football sctarianism, is as much a social problem as it is a football problem. Football is an easy scapegoat for politicians. Football is just an outlet for the violent tendancies of hooligans.

I thought the Aberdeen casuals were the only English style "firm" in Scotland obviously I'm behind the times.

them and Hibs are the most prominent and Notorious. Aberdeen's casuals heve been involved in trouble south of the border and i think that's why they better known. However, hooligan activity seems to be dwindling up here. there doesn't seem to be much organised trouble up here at the mo.

In fairness to Scotland I don't think there ever was organised hooliganism on anything approaching the scale that we had south of the border and the Tartan army are welcome anywhere .

the main reason for a decline in hooligans and fights is the amount of p[olice at every game in the top two english leagues coupled with the amount of cctv and media cameras at these games it's alot harder to get away with and also ownership of the problem by clubs making it harder for rival fans to get at each other, the problem now is getting the rest of the world to follow suit rather than just using heavyhanded tactics

HAMMERTIME · 07-07-2007, 06:57 AM

the worst prob is in the lower leauges.. they are the people that start all the trouble when england go abroad.. they are all from places like sconthorpe, stoke, bury, ect....

HAMMERTIME · 07-07-2007, 07:04 AM

and as for no trouble at spurs.. thats becos if anyone starts as soon as they get onto the high street they get shot or chased away with swords by mad people from edmonton that is if you can actually get to the game on time..

goldenHuddlestone · 07-07-2007, 11:43 AM

HAMMERTIME · 07-07-2007, 03:24 PM
