Eighteen Huddersfield Town fans are currently banned from all football grounds in the UK.

The fans are among 2,085 supporters subject to football banning orders, according to figures from the Home Office.

Among teams in the Premier League, Huddersfield has among the fewest banning orders.

Topping the chart of shame is Newcastle United with 124 fans currently barred from games. The Magpies are followed by Chelsea (60), Wolverhampton (52), Liverpool (49), Burnley (48), Bristol Rovers (47), Leeds United (47), Cardiff City (44), West Ham (44) and Bristol City (42).

The Home Office One recorded 13 arrests last season as well as the issue of new banning order to one Town fan last season.

By comparison there were 74 arrests made on Birmingham City fans last season.

During the 2016/17 season 21 banning orders were imposed on Plymouth Argyle fans while the same of orders were issued against Wolves fans.

More than 542 football hooligans were slapped with banning orders last season, an increase of 58 (12%) compared to the previous season.

Meanwhile there were 1,895 football-related arrests, a rise of 1% (22) on the previous season.

However, it also represents a 20% drop from the 2,363 football related arrests four seasons earlier in 2011-12.

Public disorder offences are the most common type of offence with 583 in total last season.

There were also 373 arrests for alcohol offences, 369 for violent disorder, 188 for pitch incursions, 141 for possession of pyrotechnics, 72 for criminal damage, 59 for throwing missiles, 40 for ticket touting, 36 for breaching banning orders, 17 for possession of an offensive weapon and 17 for racist and offensive chanting.

Amanda Jacks, of the Footballer Supporters' Federation, told the Mirror: "Football arrests have followed a downward trend in recent years and we're pleased to see them remain at historically low levels.

"Policing is generally getting better and fans are becoming more involved in match-day planning - all these factors have helped ensure that disorder at football matches is very rare.



"Football fans also face legislation that can lead to arrest for actions that don't exist as offences in other sports, such as drinking alcohol in sight of the field of play.

"While we try and educate fans as to the potential consequences of breaking the law in regards these offences, we do believe there is scope to repeal many of these discriminatory laws."
