Hammers jump up London arrest table

Posted by Sean Whetstone on August 6, 2017 in News, Whispers

trouble1West Ham have risen up the London table of football related arrests, supporters charged and issues with court football banning orders last season after early troubles at the London Stadium last season. The freedom of information request obtained by Claret and Hugh shows that the Hammers had 56 supporters arrested in total, an increase of 38 on last season and third in the table behind Chelsea and Spurs. However, West Ham did top the table in London when it came to those who went on to be charged after being arrested and also the largest amount who received court football banning orders as a result.

    So spuds= second highest arrests….3 banning orders. chelsea= most arrests…1 banning order. their magistrates don’t seem to have the same attitude as ours it would seem.

    Is the cost of policing recharged to the club really an average of about £1500 per home game last season? Is this credible given comments made by the club on this issue?

    I wouldn’t bother , just convict us as we walk through the stiles 😂😂

    It would be nice if this season we could get close to the top of the football table rather than the ones for arrests & injuries. Just a thought.

    Last season was exceptional we had a lot of remoaners causing trouble inside and outside combined with a few of the old faces looking for a punch up in the wide open spaces around the stadium as well as a few inside, the banning orders were also handed, then we had the shocking stewards who were either looking for trouble or incapable of dealing with it, it was a perfect storm in terms of creating an environment for difficult situations… I think we will drop back down again this season in the crime table only hopefully.
