Not too many surprises there other than no mention of the 'Jacks'; or does breaking the Laws of Nature not count in these situations...?

And that was when we had crowds of 6000 - and not approaching 20,000

Would have had more in one game than last years "winners" West Ham had in the whole of last season!

They would have been better off announcing arrests per 1000 rather just the number of arrests. It would appear that Millwall and QPR have a bigger problem as their crowds are much less than the prem sides.

Agree. Also, I know it would be difficult but a split showing number of home / away fans would give a clearer picture too. I’m imagining that Blackpool may be high with the amount of away fans going up there for a weekend pi$$ up.

I remember it well. If all the banning orders were lifted I reckon our crowds would go from 6K to 10K!!!

I think this is a bit misleading though as in my opinion the tolerance for arrest will be much lower today than if was 10 years back , definitely 20. If you had late 90s disorder today with modern day policing / cctv etc the current bar chart would be off the clock !

Yeah. Surely they would have hoped for a top 3 spot.
