Portsmouth comes in second with 110 on the banned list while last year’s champions, Cardiff City, have seen their numbers fall from 152 to 109. Stoke City (108) and Manchester United (106) round out the top 5.

On a positive note – unless you happen to be in the hooligan action figure business – there is a 7% increase in people banned from last season, while football-related violence dipped by 7% for the third straight year.
