English Football arrests - Statistics

Statistics on football-related arrests and banning orders

Season 2009-10

According to statistics given, the amount of arrests have decreased in most areas except in situations where in 2009-2010 some games have a higher average of violence caused by the teams attending and their fans. Therefore I most conclude that in overall the football arrests have decreased greatly and therefore less violence has occurred.

If you look at tendecies of football arrests certain clubs and certain leagues have a higher percentage. The higher divisons have a higher amount of arrests since more people follow and attend these matches so naturally the posbility of hooliganism is higher.

The clubs with the most arrests have mostly a history with hooliganism and the statistics shows that clearly. Teams like leeds, Cardiff, Man utd and Millwall are usual in the lead, but in some cases like Grimsby Town has 45 arrests is higher than united leeds and Cardiff.

These data are presented in the stats for football binning orders.

The data showing the arrests by club supported and type of offence, clearly indicates that violent and public disorder and alcohol offence are highest on the list.

Man Utd, chelsea and west ham have the highest amount in the premier league whilst Cardiff and Newcastle have the highest in Championship and again Leeds and Millwaal the highest in League One.

In this case Grimsby is far from Man Utds 165 arrests in total to their 49.
