The Home Office’s arrest statistics for the 2011-12 season have been released today and they make for happy reading. The figures show a drop in total arrests of 24% and, on average, less than one arrest is made at every match. Three out of every four games feature no arrests at all.
Malcolm Clarke, chair of the Football Supporters’ Federation, said: “The dramatic fall in the number of arrests at football games during the 2011-12 season underlines the fact that the overwhelming majority of fans reject football violence of any sort. There’s simply no place for it inside or outside our stadiums.
“The overall picture is a very positive one and the FSF wants to make sure this downward trend continues – we believe it can do so and reaffirm our commitment to a multi-agency approach involving fans’ groups, the football authorities and the police.”
