Wolves have third highest number of banning orders
Monday 29th November 2010, 11:30AM GMT.
Nearly 90 Wolves fans are banned from football matches by court orders, the third highest number in the Premier League, it was revealed today.
Eighty-six football banning orders were in place against followers of the club as of November 19.
In all, 3,248 football banning orders were in place on November 19, including 105 against Newcastle United fans — 10 per cent of all the banning orders in the Premier League and the most of any team at that level — and 91 against West Ham fans.
But the number of people arrested for football-related disorder fell by 10 per cent last season.
A total of 3,391 English and Welsh fans were arrested at international and domestic games in 2009/10, down 395 from the previous season.
The figures were welcomed as Prime Minister David Cameron flies to Zurich to lobby Fifa executive committee members ahead of their all-important vote in the Swiss city.
The sport’s global governing body will announce on Thursday who is to host the 2018 World Cup, with England facing tough competition from Russia, as well as joint bids by Spain/Portugal and Belgium/Netherlands.
No English or Welsh fans were arrested for disorder at the World Cup in South Africa.
