SIX banning orders have been made against Hereford FC 'supporters' in the last five years, new figures show.

Two were banned in each of the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons. There was one banned last season – a man aged between 35 and 49.

Arrests at football matches are reducing, according to Home Office figures. There are no figures available for Hereford, but overall arrests last season were 1,369.

That’s an average of 3.3 people for every 100,000 attending matches, showing a continuing decrease from the 4.8 in the 2014/15 season.
