England : Football arrests 'highest in years' & disorder on the rise - 21/01/2022

Source : https://www.bbc.com/

Arrests at football matches across the top five English leagues are at their highest levels in years, with fan disorder "getting worse", according to the UK's football policing lead.



The latest data covers the first half of this season - which has seen the return of fans to capacity stadiums after a year of lockdowns and restrictions.

There have been more than 800 football-related arrests in the first six months of the season, alongside more than 750 reported incidents of disorder.

It follows Baroness Casey's recent report into the Euro 2020 final violence, which found "ticketless, drunken and drugged-up thugs" could have caused death as they stormed Wembley.

Chief constable Mark Roberts, the head of the UK's Football Policing Unit, said cases of anti-social behaviour among younger fans is a particular area of concern.

Roberts has previously voiced his concern on newly-introduced safe standing 'rail seats' as well as a pilot scheme to allow fans to drink within sight of the pitch.

He said increased levels of disorder is expected after a major tournament - but the current level of activity is "concerning".

More trouble, more arrests, fewer games - the key stats

Data collected from 1 July to 31 December 2021 from English domestic competitions only and compared to same six-month period for season 2019-20 - the last one without restrictions pre-pandemic

802 football related arrests so far this season - an increase in 47% from 547 arrests in 2019-20 - the highest number of arrests since UKFPU started collating in season 2015-16

Incidents of disorder reported at almost half (48%) of all games across Premier League, EFL and National League - compared to 34% in season 19-20

There were 759 reported incidents of disorder - including flares, missiles and hate crime - up 36% from 560 in 19-20
210 incidents were involving young supporters under the age of 25, up from 154 in 19-20. The five year average of incidents involving under 25 was 168

That's despite fewer games this season (1,581) due to postponements, than in 19-20 (1,670)

The biggest increase in reported incidents of disorder is in the Championship and National league. Up 58% in Championship and 56% in national league from 2019-20

Police presence at 66% of football matches across top five English divisions, compared to 46% of games in 19-20.

'Culture at games is biggest challenge'
Last month's Baroness Casey report into the mass disorder at the Euro 2020 final described "drunken and drugged up thugs" being responsible for "a day of national shame" at Wembley on 11 July, as England lost to Italy.

Within that report, Lady Casey called out the "culture" around disorder at football matches as "the biggest challenge" in tackling behaviour, recommending a Football Association campaign to force "a sea-change in attitudes towards supporter behaviours".

One fan at that game, 'Tom', told BBC Radio 5 live: "In our row there was a group of 10 mates, none of them had tickets, all of them were snorting cocaine. It felt very very dangerous."

Testimony given to Baroness Casey's report suggested copious amounts of drugs, particularly cocaine, were being taken. The report said that 47% of 7,000 ticket holders who took part in the review saw illegal drug taking when arriving at Wembley, with steward and security staff reporting a high level of drug use.

Lady Casey also said: "I think drugs is a significantly greater issue than probably people have realised" and called for a "national conversation about greater civility and responsibility" that goes beyond football.
