Jace Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 How QPR is bottom is beyond me. Probably because they have such a smaller number of fans

Dan Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 I knew Newcastle were a gang of pissheads but ****ing hell
Soar Fox Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 I'm surprised we even had 28 to be honest. I go to 90% of home and away games and I ver very rarely see any trouble.
Fox92 Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 First place goes to the people that smash up their own City.
Aus Fox Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 Does this include that bloke who asked to turn the TV back on at half time in the family stand?
BrummieFOX Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 Not a bad position considering we get no financial backing from our owners, we're charged £3.30 a pint and they put a row of police between us and the away fans during the big games. With no local Derbies this year we really could struggle. Let's all put the effort in and get to the pub a little earlier this year - every pint counts when irrational decision making is so important in this league. Let's kick on this year!
davieG Posted 12 September 2014 Author Posted 12 September 2014 Well-behaved Leicester City fans an "example" to other clubs, say police By Ciaranfagan | Posted: September 12, 2014 City fans' behaviour home and away has been praised. Comments (0)Well-behaved Leicester City fans are setting the example to other clubs’ supporters, according to police. Leicestershire Police praised City fans as a Government report showed 21 of the club’s supporters were arrested home and away last season. Neighbouring Championship rivals Derby County and Nottingham Forest 57 and 69 arrests in the course of the same season, which ended with City and champions and back in the top flight for the first time in a decade. Manchester United topped the Premier League arrests table, with 112 of its supporters detained last season. Swansea City had the cleanest record, with just nine arrests. RELATED CONTENT Leicester City come 15th in the Premier League - for football banning orders Senior officers have urged City’s fans to maintain the good behaviour in the Premier League. The report reveals that City fans were arrested for offences such as public disorder, drunkenness, possession of fireworks or flares and offensive chanting. The three offensive chanting arrests were made when Brighton and Hove Albion came to the King Power Stadium and some City fans aimed homophobic insults to the visiting supporters Chief Superintendent Chris Haward, football gold commander for the force said: “Fans have been very well behaved over the past year and we hope that will continue now we are in the Premier League. “They are setting a really good example as to how football fans should behave.” The force’s football intelligence officer Pc Alistair Grimsley added: “Leicester City played 23 league matches at home plus cup games and then a similar number of away games. “The behaviour of the majority of fans was good throughout the season. “That is pretty much what we would have expected with the team doing well and looking at the chance of promotion to the Premier League. “Fans were enjoying the run the team was on and were always looking forward to the next game. “The use of flares was a concern. The courts and the Crown Prosecution Service have been given guidelines to be strict in their sentencing of people who bring these things into the stadium. “I would expect a three year football banning order for anyone caught in possession of one.” Pc Grimsley added that police record approximately 150 City fans as being at risk of involvement in matchday violence. A total of 28 supporters are currently serving court-imposed football banning orders. The orders, some of which date back to a notorious clash between City and Coventry City supporters in Coventry in 2008, mean they cannot visit any match and surrender their passports when the national team is in action overseas. The report, from the Home Office, notes: “The 2013/14 football-related arrest season total is the lowest on record, continuing the general downwards trend. “However, these statistics should be considered in the context that they reflect police activity. “Not every incident of violent of disorderly behaviour results in an arrest. “There remains a significant risk of escalation if efforts to prevent and tackle football-related disorder are reduced.” Read more: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/behaved-Leicester-City-fans-example-clubs-say/story-22916360-detail/story.html?#ixzz3D6plJ41C Follow us: @Leicester_Merc on Twitter | leicestermercury on Facebook Read more at http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/behaved-Leicester-City-fans-example-clubs-say/story-22916360-detail/story.html?#QApRL053vt2DFx7k.99
