Hooligans1

Police in Avon and Somerset say they're not prepared to tolerate any football hooliganism as the new season kicks off tomorrow - following a decrease in such arrests last season.

Last season 94 people were arrested in the force area and at away games, compared with 163 last year.

There are currently 57 hooligans who have football banning orders in the Avon and Somerset force area.

The police have pledged to continue taking offenders to court and seeking football banning orders - which can last for between 3 and 5 years - and up to 10 if the person is sent to prison.
