The banning order league that is...



Newcastle United fans top banning order table


Ninety-five Newcastle United fans were given banning orders over the past year - more than any other club in England and Wales, the Home Office said.

Of the clubs in the Premier League, Sunderland had the second most number of fans banned with 18, followed by West Ham with 16.

In total, 256 banning orders were imposed on fans of top division clubs.

The supporters had their bans imposed between 21 September 2013 and 3 September 2014.

No-one from Newcastle United was available for comment.

Outside the Premier League, League One side Chesterfield had the highest number of fans being banned over the past 12 months with 22.

The Home Office said the number of banning orders imposed by courts decreased by 7% to 2,273 on 3 September 2014 from 2,451 on 20 September 2013, with 678 new banning orders imposed during the period across all divisions.

More than 38 million fans attended matches during the 2013-14 season.


Might be even more if fans continue to protest against Cashley & Pards.

 

Surely that's predominantly down to the derby day nonsense that went on and subsequent court cases? You'd struggle to call a lot of those people fans and many were reported to not be at the game. Doesn't excuse them but it explains the figures I guess.

 

It shows we are dealing with the scumbags from the Derby fallout.

 

Yet more embarrassing stats for our poor beleaguered club.

Not reflective of the majority of supporters, but still not a good thing to have the club and it's fans connected with.

 

Have you got the source for this ?
