Leeds United fans at top of football banning order league of shame

Leeds United fans are officially the worst supporters for attracting Football Banning Orders, according to the latest statistics.

Currently there are 152 orders in force against alleged United supporters – the highest number from any club in either the Premier League, Leeds' own Championship League, Leagues One and Two and all other club categories.

Cardiff fans were next with 125 orders, Home Office figures revealed.

Next came Newcastle with 105, fourth place went to United's arch rivals Millwall with 100 orders - less than two thirds the number of orders against Elland Road troublecausers.

With 91 orders West Ham fans were fifth from the top of the Banning Order league and the nearest to them comes Wolverhampton with 86, Sheffield - 79, Liverpool - 77 and Sheffield United - 75.

In the year between November 11, 2009, and November 19 this year Leeds United followers managed to earn themselves an additional 34 orders - at least 22 per cent of the club's current total.

The club topped last year's league as well.

That figure compares with 56 orders imposed on Sheffield Wednesday supporters, 45 on West Ham followers, 44 on Cardiff fans, 43 on Southampton and 36 on Manchester United fans over the same 12 months.

The Government recorded an improvement in fan behaviour at this year's World Cup in 2010 compared with the European championships in 2000.

Crime Prevention Minister James Brokenshire said: "The contrast between South Africa 2010 and Euro 2000 could not be greater — no football-related arrests at the World Cup compared to nearly 950 hooligans being expelled from Belgium in one night.

"We must also applaud the work of police in making football a safer environment for all.

Nobody is complacent though, police will continue to work with fans and use all the tools at their disposal to ensure that we continue setting a benchmark for the world."

A Leeds United spokesman said: "The figures show the proactive nature of both the police and the club in addressing an issue that involves a minority of our supporters.

"But given the number that pass through our turnstiles the number is clearly very much a minority."

The total number of current orders nationwide was 3,248 November compared with 3,180 last November with 1,025 new banning orders imposed.

Congrats to Fulham Fans


Fulham Chronicle - Fulham FC fans top behaviour charts Nov 30 2010 By Greg Burns

FULHAM FC issued the lowest number of banning orders in the Premier League in the past 12 months.

The Craven Cottage club only banned six fans compared to the 75 Chelsea FC fans banned from Stamford Bridge between November 11, 2009 and November 19 this year.

Figures released by the Home Office this week also showed that Championship side QPR banned 19 fans from Loftus Road, only beaten by Reading (5), Watford (5), Ipswich (15) and Preston (14).

Fulham FC fans were also bottom of the football arrests chart with just seven fans arrested during the same period compared to 127 at Chelsea FC and 41 at QPR.

ARRESTS DOWN BY 10%Posted on: 30.11.2010

The number of arrests for football-related disorder has dropped by 10 per cent according to the latest statistics from the Home Office.

During the whole of the 2009/10 season 3,391 people were arrested, a fall of 395 year on year. This equates to an average of one arrest per match with no arrests at 70 per cent of games.

The statistics cover all matches involving teams from England and Wales, so include international and European fixtures as well as the top five leagues in the country.

There were no arrests at 70 per cent of all matches, while two arrests or less were made at 85 per cent of games.

The other statistic which made good reading was the fact that 47 per cent of all fixtures were police free - continuing to free up police resources to deal with local police and community priorities.

Total attendances for the season stand at 37 million, at regulated matches, in England and Wales with those arrested representing less than 0.01 per cent of all spectators.

Gavin Megaw, Director of Marketing and Communications at The Football League, said: "It is encouraging to see the number of football-related arrests declining to less than one arrest for every 10,000 fans attending matches. For its part, The Football League will continue working with its 72 clubs to ensure that the game provides a safe, fun environment for all."
