I wonder who it was?

More Reading fans were arrested at games last season than West Ham fans?

Yes, but the numbers are so small (10 vs 4) that it only takes one small incident to skew the statistics.

We're talking about 10 out of a total attendance of 442,045 for Reading and 4 out of a total attendance of 745,919 for West Ham (ignoring away fan arrests) so the percentages are so small that statistically there's virtually no different : 0.00226% vs. 0.00053%

Bet our 1 banning order was for persistently not sitting down.

I thought it was for going into the toilets with some stewards ? Gay

And this is before you get into the debate around whether a high number of bans indicates a club with a problem, or a club tackling (and eradicating) a problem.

Apparently it was someone in the Upper West not using the right cutlery!

To be fair I told them it wasn't a soup spoon, but oh no they wouldn't listen.
