brummie Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Apparently we are in discussions with Birmingham City Council about converting the lower north stand into a "safe standing" area. Being as nobody ever sits down in the lower north anyway, it is a decent idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 News Manchester United fans top Premier League of shame for match-day arrests Steve Robson December 23, 2011 Share Article | Submit Comments | Comments (163) | Printable Version Previous | Next Manchester United have finished top of a 'league of shame' for match-day arrests. The champions had more fans held by police than any other team in the Premier League during last season – almost twice as many as second-placed Sunderland. The figures, released by the Home Office show that the number of United supporters arrested rocketed from 165 in the 2009-10 season to 276 last year. Some 117 fans were held at home games and 159 at away matches. The vast majority of the arrests were for alcohol offences (127), followed by violent disorder (63), ticket touting (26), pitch invasions (20), public disorder (15) and possessing offensive weapons (11). City joined United in the top four of the list - with 108 arrests last season. Bolton had 52 fans arrested and Wigan 27. Outside the top flight, Rochdale had seven arrests, Stockport five and Bury just one. United said the figures should be seen in context of the fact Old Trafford had a bigger capacity than any other ground. A club spokesman said: "These figures should be presented as a percentage of the stadium’s crowd, rather than as individual figures." Mark Longden, from the independent Manchester United supporters association blamed the high number of arrests on 'over-zealous' policing at football grounds. He said: "We're one of the very few teams that sells out their ticket allocation wherever we go. "We all have our bad eggs but I think most sections of supporters are the same. The main issue is over-zealous policing. "The way supporters are policed in general is conducive to getting arrested. The police release these figures every year which are designed to show football supporters to be hooligans carrying bricks and knives. "It's in their interests to talk up the aggro." Manchester City declined to comment. The figures also showed that 23 fans were arrested in the Premier League for racist or indecent chanting – including two United fans. Total number of arrests - home and away Manchester United 276 Sunderland 126 Newcastle 123 Manchester City 108 Arsenal 107 Aston Villa 103 Birmingham City 74 Chelsea 74 Stoke City 70 West Ham 68 Liverpool 66 Bolton Wanderers 52 Wolves 50 Tottenham Hotspur 48 Everton 45 Blackburn Rovers 37 West Brom 35 Wigan Athletic 27 Blackpool 26 Fulham 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Our only criteria is that players should be have been born on or after January 1 1990 (yes, we feel old too). It's recreation of the Don Balon list which they normally do (no longer in publication) and which they've analysed last years list over the last couple of weeks.

Village Idiot Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Man, so sad about Don Balón going under. Legendary magazine. Good picks for Barça. Thiago and Cuenca are our U21s more likely to play a sizable role in the main squad this year. Bojan still on the list, he seems to have been around forever hasn't he? That's probably been his main problem. Too much hype too early. Both Vadillo and Canales should be there, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
