Thought this may be of some interest, from the BBC website.

For 2016/17 season, the Albion had a total of 15 arrests, up from 14 the previous season. Of those, only 1 was at the Amex, the rest at away games, leaving us mid table 14th in the league of shame. Burton were bottom, with 1 arrest all season, up from, ah, zero the previous season.
Of our arrests, 4 were for violent disorder, 5 were for public disorder, 1 for a breach of a previous banning order, 4 were for pitch incursions(clearly nobody noticed the Wigan game) and 1 was for alcohol offences:drunk::drunk::rolleyes:

Pretty good for a team with a 28000 home average and 1600 plus away.

One of those bans was for celebrating a goal by shaking the goal netting. Utterly ridiculous. And I wonder if those figures also include the Brighton fans who were banned on the basis of video evidence alone of a ruck at the World Cup with Russian hoolies that was presented without context and unfairly hastily?

There were a few drunken goons at Forest that season - an arrest or two there wouldn't have surprised me.

Too early to report. Barber’s team are still processing all the clips from the post-Wigan appalling misbehaviour. We’ll be top of the table once the 25,234 banning orders are issued.

So glad I decided to stay in the stand [emoji16][emoji16]

Yes, completely agree re the Lincoln game, although wasn't there a suggestion he may have already been subject to a banning order? I can't quite remember and I probably shouldn't speculate.
The Marseille fracas may be included, but in the raw data (there is a link on the BBC link) it included arrests by British transport police which are included in the total arrests, but do not specify which club, so they may fall into that category.

I chatted with the fan in question a few games before that incident on a train home and he'd had a previous ban but it was all done and dusted, if I remember rightly.

Banning those fighting Russian scumbags turning up with gum shields and UFC gloves is utterly ridiculous!
Typical of how over the top the Police react to certain incidents and I’d love to know what happened to all the Russians when they got home....other than being praised by a Russian government official that is???

Hopefully we're not going to bring back the 80 page thread on that incident are we? If there is something to bring about strong different opinions on here, its any banning order

Quite. As I said, I think context was needed in understanding why the fans fought back after several days of unprovoked, extremely co-ordinated attacks where the English fans were outnumbered and given very little protection.

Those of us on the season ticket waiting list are rubbing our hands with anticipation.....

Oh, did you say the Wigan Athletic match ?

Shit...

Dispite the low figures and practically zero disorder at the Amex you could ask the question why the OB decided they can't handle a full house against the Nigel's.
