hippy273 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-City-tops-list-football-bans/story-19925972-detail/story.html Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned on another thread yet (apologies if wrong). "The report released by the Home Office has also recorded how many people were arrested at grounds across the country in 2012/13" "Bristol City had 54 fans arrested, 42 of which were at away games and the vast majority were for public disorder." Impressive stats considering we were never this notorious a few years ago were we? I never thought we would put Millwall to shame in that respect.

Fiale Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Bet most relate to Cardiff and the Rovers Derby... It probably says more about those pursuing and handing out bans than the supporters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Last season, 34 troublemakers were banned from Ashton Gate and every other football stadium in the country – the highest of any club in the Football League or Premier League. Because the local police and club define a troublemaker as anybody who runs onto the pitch to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted October 14, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 You're right. It's someone else's fault. Amazing. I would be interested to hear why 175 Newcastle fans were arrested (more than THREE TIMES the City total) this included 114 for violent disorder but a total of just 8 bans handed out by the magistrates and police. Yet we had 54 arrests over the season, and 34 of these receive banning orders. Nuneaton had 87 arrests and just 4 banning orders Something looks very wrong !

TV Tom Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Unbelievable nonsense, the ratio of bans to arrests is startling when you compare it with Newcastle & Nuneaton, surely their must be an input from the club and A&S police when attending court, really worrying actually as the Police seem far to eager and happy to make arrests for the most trivial of things at football nowadays, certainly the Cardiff and Rovers games seemed tame affairs as far as trouble goes compared to previous years.

If you compare the Cardiff 'trouble' to what happened on the streets of Newcastle after their game v Sunderland it's yet further proof of the Cardiff police stitch up towards bcfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cardiff trouble and the ensuing unprecedented ratio of bans to arrests has skewed the figures massively, leaving Bristol City a club with a terrible reputation across the country, and us City fans likely to be poorly treated in future in direct consequence of these figures. Judging by the number of bans it seems that day in Cardiff must have seen the worst behaviour by fans at any fixture in English football last season.

In the Net Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I would like to see the figures for how many arrests resulted in successful prosecutions. I think that quite a few of the Millwall supporters arrested at the Cup Final were recently found not guilty in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
