Town Fans Championship's Best Behaved - Ipswich Town News

Town were the Championship club to have the fewest fans arrested during 2012/13, according to figures released by the Home Office.

While no Blues supporters were arrested at Portman Road, four were detained at matches away from home, two for alcohol offences, one for public disorder and one for violent disorder. One Town fan was handed a banning order.

In the same report for the previous year, 2011/12, there were two Blues supporters arrested at Portman Road and none away, again the lowest total in the division.

Club spokesman Steve Pearce welcomed this year’s figures: "Ipswich Town fans have a long-standing reputation as being among the best in the game and this is further evidence of that.

"Portman Road is regarded as one of the safest grounds in the country to watch football and the supporters should take great credit for that.”
