Accrington Stanley fans have been praised for their behaviour.

Figures showed there were no banning orders against Stanley fans and just two supporters were arrested last season.

The club’s safety officer Mick Schultz said: “We owe a big thank- you to our fans who always come here to the Fraser Eagle Stadium and also travel away without a problem.

"They are loud and proud and make themselves heard, but also behave in a way which makes us a lot of friends around the country.”

ootball banning orders are a civil measure, designed to make it easier to stop hooligans attending games without proving criminal behaviour “beyond reasonable doubt”.

They can last from two to 10 years.
