When looked at compared to attendances, the number of football-related arrests is quite low.

The Home Office estimated total football attendances to have been 41.9 million last season. That works out as 5.2 arrests for every 100,000 attendees.

Aside from arrests, the Home Office also records the number of different incidents which do not always lead to an arrest.

Reports of hate crime have increased dramatically since records began in 2017/18. A total of 384 hate crimes were reported in 2021/22, which is up from 287 in 2019/20, 193 in 2018/19 and 131 in 2017/18.

Race hate crime make up the majority of those with 283 incidents last season, up from 214 in 2019/20, 152 in 2018/19 and 94 in 2017/18.

Hate crimes regarding sexual orientation are up, with 106 reported last season compared to 78 in 2019/20, 37 in 2018/19, and 27 in 2017/18.

There were also 14 incidents of religious hate crime reported last season, eight for disability and three for gender identity.

It's not terrible really when you apply a bit of perspective, Argyle are obviously less tolerant of bad behavior than other clubs but not a bad thing however out of an average home crowd of plus ten thousand fans which over a season must be more than twenty thousand people we only had just over twenty people that couldn't behave themselves.

I'm suprised we even made the list seeing how sanitised it's all become. Pfft.

Sit down, shut up, doff your cap only when we score.
