BBC Sport - Football - Football-related arrests in 2008/09 decrease by 2%

Just read the above article on the BBC. Have Stanley had anyone banned from any football grounds?

This seems to be the source for the information and includes lower leagues:

Always the usual suspects on there with most arrests, cardiff, west ham, man united. According to that second link it says we have 1 banning order on our fans

Love the 1 person at Shrewsbury Town arrested for .............. wait for it......

TICKET TOUTING hahahaha

Did not know we had a banning order on somebody???

Just had an upset Mr Schultz on:(

WE HAVE ZERO BANING ORDERS/ ARRESTS

The arrested fan at the Crown was from Rochdale and that stat should be on Rochdale's away figures.

Accy fans are LOUD and PROUD and the Club are grateful for their FANtastic support:)

we have no banning orders yet thats good....... safe place is accy .... not like ex big boys playgrounds leeds bradford city etc plus team that have sum all seaters like port vale.

Id rather of been banned when i got chucked out at Leeds! That would of mean i wouldnt of had the need to visit that s**t hole again!

However what a fantastic figure, i think all league stewards should view this!! and then they shall know what to expect when we visit them!!

no doubt, may be worth contacting the local media about it though pointing out this error, also will be good publicity.:);)way i see it, some people still have a "Blinkered" view about trouble at football matches, such n article could not do any harm at all.

Statistics on arrests and banning orders

Accrington Stanley seek correction on figures

Accrington Stanley have made an official request to the Home Office to correct figures released yesterday showing statistics on arrests and banning orders at football matches.

The statistics show that of the 3,180 banning orders in place on football supporters, one is related to an Accrington Stanley fan, however this is incorrect and Safety Officer Mick Schultz has this morning been seeking to have this corrected "It may only be one, but it is one that shouldn't be on the record, the incident relates to an away fan in the away end of our ground but it has been incorrectly attributed to our club."

When the figures are corrected they will show only two clubs in the top four tiers of English football with no supporters with a banning order against them, just ourselves and Torquay have this honour.

Mick continued "We are very proud of the fact that Accrington Stanley is amongst the safest places in the country to watch a game of football. We are very keen to attract young people and families to our club and providing a safe and friendly environment for them to come to is of course key to this."

Good to see the folks at Stanley are on the case and a big well done to Mick Schultz for chasing this one up, also I suspect Mr. T had a little bit to do with it! :)

This would be good if it could be put in the paper on one of the first few pages in the observer. It would deffinatly attract more familys to come! For e.g , say it got 10 familys the next game to come and its a family of 4, its still another 40 people. And then they bring their friends etc and then the kids hear about the Match day club, the kids go to the match day club and then the adults bring their friends to the game and have a pint etc. Its just a big circle :) And a circle that can be done if the efforts made!!
