They are now released as of 9.30 this morning....I had a good look at them Yesterday and they show Cardiff City high up in the lists again...yet we rarely hear of many incidents thesedays...The FSF will find out how many of our actual arrests turned into convictions...that would make the figures more realistic.

Our banning orders are high though and the ammount of police that police our games will be a factor in that...

You have to trawl through the tables to get a fairer view of the most recent statistics.

No surprise that we had the highest amount of arrests away from home in the division.
Other clubs handed out more banning orders that season though.

My local non-league team Salisbury City have 16 arrests and 5 banning orders. Only seen 'trouble' there once when 2 or 3 locals and 2 or 3 luton fans were gesticulating and making signs at one another through a security fence-a real flashback to the 80s!

Also no surprise that a lot of arrests happened in the Midlands and South Yorkshire regions!

do these bans include the cival bans giving to cardiff fans without conviction ? cause i know there been a few the real figure could be a lot higher .

I've been to Wolves once (3-2 and the riot outside-bastard WMP pushed me and my then 8 year old boy into the battle ground) and wont go back.

Been too Sheff United once (3-5) and again after the treatment from SYP i wont go back.
