Coventry City 10th most arrests in English football last season
It's times like that you have that little bit of hope one of their fans will just backhand them.Before yesterday’s game I saw the biggest cretin I’ve ever seen at a city game. He was probably about 20 and had 8 or so similarly intellectually challenged minions following him, and was walking up to the Beech Pub chanting in Burton fans faces for no apparent reason, looking for trouble. Forty or so minutes later he got carried out the pub car park by the bouncer for having too many shandies, one of the most satisfying things I’ve seen in a while. The pub owner warned his wanna be football factory mates that he won’t get in the ground if he behaves like that, which they respond ‘he hasn’t got a ticket to the game’. Fucking muppet.

Was there many tossers at the game yesterday?
Football clubs with most fan arrests in 2017/18 season (top 10):
Birmingham City - 95
Sheffield United - 62
Sunderland - 60
Portsmouth - 59
Aston Villa - 48
West Ham United - 46
Manchester United - 40
Leeds United - 39
Millwall - 37
Coventry City - 37
The Sunderland trouble must be a fairly major factor in this. I noticed they're higher in the table than us. Any increase in trouble last year was likely due to the 'we're to good for this league we can do what we want' mentality some had. Same from Sunderland this year I'd imagine.
I read this on their forum too. Apparently he even screamed about Burton being shit in a young kids face.Before yesterday’s game I saw the biggest cretin I’ve ever seen at a city game.

Is this the same group from Cheltenham and FGR?There were quite a few incidents between City fans last season.
One group in particular have been caught up on trouble at least 4 times that I know of, usually because of drink these are blokes and women in there 30s to 50s.
Saw this on the telegraph earlier, link if anyone wants a read:
Coventry City had 10th highest number of fan arrests last season
What was said higher up about people having a "we're too big for this shit league" definitely has a big part to play, I'd say.
This is depressing.
I think if we really push we can make it into the top 6. I'll slap a few coppers next game and see if I can do my bit.
I was in the stand at the side yesterday. There was a lot of complaints about those standing stopping children further up the stand seeing. I have to say that I don’t understand why anyone would stand at a game like that when standing on the terrace was an option. If you know that fellow supporters can’t see because you are choosing to stand then I think you must be pretty ignorant.Other than the small group I mentioned, it seemed a really good following. I personally didn’t see anything other than one group, and even in that group it was mainly the one dickhead and his mates thinking he was the don

Yes also pick on a female supporter that sits behind us she is all of 5ft tall.Is this the same group from Cheltenham and FGR?
Really? Sounds like a bunch of twats.Yes also pick on a female supporter that sits behind us she is all of 5ft tall.
They tried to apologise to her a few games later but the damage was already done. She wasn't best pleased. Said they were drunk at the time they stink of it when they stand near you not very nice when they are shouting in your face they reek.
Makes then feel big I suppose.
Believe they are being watched not heard about any bother this season to be fair.
Too be honest they need to stay off the pop obviously can't take it without becoming abusive.Really? Sounds like a bunch of twats.

I saw several tossers to be honest, a visit to the toilet halfway through the first half saw one being ejected while trying to fight with 4/5 stewards. There must have been about 30/40 in the bar underneath the stand too, some with no intention of watching the game??? Also worth adding that I saw several guys in their 40’s and 50’s completely legless at the train station on the return journey, bizarre really.
No doubt about it, we have a well established dickhead element amongst our away following these days. Fair to say though it is generally the younger ones....
I've done Burton in the past and remember they've got quite a small room which has a small kiosk in and TVs with the game on but I don't remember it being on throughout the match. I think we used to do it at the Ricoh before we left, in the concourse.
I always find it odd when people travel to an away game, the game is still in the throws at 0-0 or 1-0 and the 'this is shit' brigade decide to repeatedly shout this and then leave the game after 60 minutes. Of course I love an away day out on the beer as much as anyone else but I've always wanted to watch the game..well until it's become obvious it's game over.
I wasn't at Burton so can't comment on what went on but I have seen more of who can be the biggest dickhead at away games in the last 10/11 months.
I guess you can only measure that next to other fans as to whether the number counts as 'horrendous' as it is all relative. We are far too high up the table, there isn't really any excusing that, so I would say regardless of anything it needs to improve. As has been stated on this and many other threads, we have a large number of fantastic fans, we also have a higher than average amount of bell ends. The more of the former and less off the latter we can compile the better.Are Birmingham so high because they are not the smartest fans in the world and get caught easily?
We had larger numbers travel last season and the policing at last years level is not always the most sensible, equally, nor are the fans that travel to some of these venues, less than 1 a game, is that really horrendous? Zero would be lovely but unrealistic but what is good?
I also think you have to distinguish violence and behavior with just a drunk and disorderly arrest.
They should do the table as number of arrests 10K attending then you get a better idea how teams compare.
