Football will always attract wankers,. I can remember visiting fans chanting 'Aberfan' at Cardiff City in the 70s.
Not really. As the article says, millions of people attend football matches. Would be more useful to look at rates per 1000 over the past twenty years, to see if that's increased but football attendances are increasing so you'd expect number of arrests to increase too.
What's your opinion? Are you worried? What's worrying is that the police get paid a fee for each football banning order that is issued which can be for as little as bringing a beer into the stands. As well as persistently standing up in a seated area, smoking anywhere in the ground if it's not a designated area, gesturing with your hands- chucking a wanker sign etc. lf you went to games you'd know all about the over zealous policing of fans. Very few bans are issued for actual violence between rival hooligan groups because it's very rare for a punch up to happen inside stadiums. On top of that the sentences handed out are often heavier than what you'd get for selling crack and heroin. There's also huge amounts of overtime to be had for policing football matches which has to be justified somehow. That somehow is arrest rates and regardless of what for. But you knew all this alreadyWorrying?:
So, 5 arrests per 1,000 fans, when the national rate is 12 arrests per 1,000 people. Therefore, statistically, football fans are half as likely to be arrested. So not worrying at all.
Chesterfield. Really?

There is.I the form of funding.There is no payment for banning orders.
To nice? You can't be that naive surley? Nearly every league club in England will have some sort of mob/ hooligan element.I've been to Chesterfield and had no issues, but that was when we swamped small away grounds. Chesterfield seems too small, to nice for any trouble. I'm shocked.
Ok, I'm sure you know far more about football policing and it’s funding than I do.There is.I the form of funding.

Agh right. Way to shut down the conversation. I'm old bill filth and you're not. Slow hand clap. That may be but it doesn't stop me from being able to read. I know that the blue caps and the other thugs that police football are absolute cunts and love to whack anything from kids to oaps with there sticks. I also know they are bullies in a group but not much cop when you corner one on his own. I also know that they falsify evidence when making there statemnets. That's all i need to know thank you very much.I'm sure you know far more about football policing than I do.

No, you see this is the way to shut down a conversation.
That's from some time back as that's the old saltergate ground which they've not played at since 1999 ish. It also looks like a celebration to me.
Could have sworn the memorial said 1999. I'll have to have another look next time I go past.You're right in that it's a celebration, at least of sorts. It says the last game at Saltergate which sadly went in 2010 though, not 1999. I know 11 years is piffling but I'm an old man. Time is all I have now.
What is the logo on the sleeves?I saw that... Awful.
Stone Island.. Italian label beloved of football lads from the 80s onwards. But had a massive resurgence last few years and gone very mainstream. US rappers like Drake started wearing it.What is the logo on the sleeves?

Around 40% down on 2010/11.
So, 5 arrests per 1,000 fans, when the national rate is 12 arrests per 1,000 people. Therefore, statistically, football fans are half as likely to be arrested. So not worrying at all.
This will be most reassuring to players, referees and would-be attendees.
