We do seem to have a disproportionate amount....purely down to our major high risk element i ask myself or perhaps to over zealous policing and constant filming of the crowds that seem to go hand in hand with a Town away day nowadays.
Being of a slightly different generation i rarely see anything that i would call major trouble or serious disorder nowadays....Mid 80's - early 90's in particular there were more active larger groups having greater freedom and open confrontations...on the pitches and inside stadiums...CCTV was being used by police...Seymour with his shoulder mounted camera for those that remember him... and the first camera vans but banning orders didnt really exist.
If you got "nicked" back then it was generally a case of losing your liberty for the rest of the day and released without charge after 6pm.
Not condoning the behaviour but police can be pretty antagonising at times which younger lads seem to react to and then after filming them gobbing off for a while or over the course of a few weeks /months they nick them and then produce a showreel of "evidence of threatening behaviour" and apply for a ban.
Its like printing money for the police and guarantees them all a bit of easy overtime on a Saturday.
Tend to agree with this. Even including the pre-season shenanigans with The blunts. How many people have actually seen proper punches thrown by ours or any other fans in the past ten years. I’ll guarantee you the amount of banning orders due to the Sheff U game are massively disproportionate to the amount of aggressors from both sides. We’ll get hammered as per. I’ve seen several arrests due to ‘lads’ gobbing off again and again despite the presence of the police. Sheer stupidity.

i suspect many of our banning orders are as a result of the dreadful bullying of thousands of ordinary fans, who were intimidated into not attending Checkatrade Trophy games

250 banning orders 32 of which are Towns. My maths maybe dodgy, but i don't think 32 is a quarter of 250
Accringtn Stanley 0 Barnet 2 Blackpool 14 Cambridge United 12 Carlisle United 18 Cheltenham Town 0 Colchester United 6 Crawley Town 2 Crewe Alexandra 11 Doncaster Rovers 11 Exeter City 10 Grimsby Town 32 Hartlepool United 13 Leyton Orient 5 Luton Town 22 Mansfield Town 17 Morecambe 2 Newport County 11 Notts County 4 Plymouth Argyle 37 Portsmouth 17 Stevenage 3 Wycombe Wanderers 1
If that list is correct then Plymouth have more banning orders than us!

BBC Headline summary:
"Grimsby fans made up more than a quarter of all new banning orders issued across the 24 League Two teams".
Based on Scrumble's individual BO totals, 32 for Town out of 250 is only 12.8%. Not more than 25% as the BBC report. As Les also says above, Plymouth have more BOs than us with 37.
The details are likely to be more accurate than initial summary reports. Begs the question though why the BBC report inacccurately reported our stats to be worse than they actually are!
The Club should be challenging this BBC reporting. We have enough crowd safety issues to deal with already.

The BBC are becoming more like ITV everyday. You used to be able to listen to the BBC news and know you were being told as close to the truth as you were allowed to get. Nowadays you are getting an over dramatic headline, with and over excited reporter more interested in making sure their face is on the tv getting as much dramatic air time as possible to push their career, and the truth is lost somewhere in either the background, the 'small print' or just ignored completely. A sad situation which unfortunately reflects our society in this day and age. Good news and the truth doesn't get viewing figures up and doesn't sell papers. I've just depressed myself. Thank goodness I am going to my first game of the season tomorrow to see the mighty mariners produce a festival of football. Oh....... 😉 UTFM

Do you get a banning order if your say 4 miles away from the ground having a quite pint, next thing a group of opposition fans come in the pub all army like, one pushes your 14 year old son so in defence you clock him one, ( the other fan, not your son) the police arrive and your arrested, so is this a banning order? I would assume the majority of our were from the Sheffield U game, the majority of town fans were probably not going to the game anyway.

‘BBC reporting accuracy’ sounds familiar you can see it every day with their pro EU biased.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |
