Kinda surprised Stoke isn't on the list. The club did aggressively try to prune away N40 members from the games though, seems to have worked.
Being in the prem meant that the idiot N40 wannabes got banned or security forced them away. Now they all attend Vale games and do things like (supposedly) physically assault the owner. Top stuff.

I was curious about Italy's stats and the top 9 as of last year is Bari, Roma, Brescia, Juventus, Napoli, Verona, Reggina, Atalanta and Salernitana. Don't know why they didn't do a top 10.

The same site listed the number of bans per sport (Italy groups them under a special law called DASPO: Divieto di Accedere alle manifestazioni SPOrtive, Prohibited access to sporting events) and there is one rear end in a top hat who got banned at a cycling event and another at a water polo event.

Paul Stewart: Football sex abuse victims 'could number hundreds'

"Hundreds" of children may have been sexually abused by figures within football, former England and Tottenham player Paul Stewart has told the BBC.

Mr Stewart, who says he was abused by a coach for four years as a child, said the sport could face allegations on the scale of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

It comes as the NSPCC said more than 50 people had rung an abuse helpline within two hours of it being set up.

It was launched after four footballers spoke about being abused as children.

Former Crewe players Andy Woodward and Steve Walters, ex-Manchester City player David White, as well as Mr Stewart have all spoken out about abuse in the game.

The Football Association is meeting Mr Woodward on Thursday, to discuss the allegations.

Easy access

Mr Stewart, 52, a former England international who started his career at Blackpool and also played for Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool, first told the Daily Mirror an unnamed coach abused him daily for four years up to the age of 15.

In an emotional interview with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Mr Stewart said he believed there were "hundreds of victims" of sexual abuse who could come forward.

He said he finally escaped his alleged abuser at the age of 15, signing for Blackpool, where he made his professional debut at 17.

Asked if he feared the allegations football is facing could be as big as the Savile scandal, he told the BBC: "Yes, I do, for sure. I would almost guarantee it as long as the victims are willing to come forward."

Mr Stewart revealed the heartache of having to show his family the Mirror story before it was published, saying he had been unable to show his son and two daughters in person.

He added: "This has not been easy for me to do.

"But I felt that I needed to do this so other people will come out and with the hope that it may stop anyone who may be thinking of doing it again, in any walk of life - not just football."

He added: "The access to children at sport level is very easy and it is the perfect ground for them to prey."

Tony Pulis has lost his appeal against an arbitration ruling that he must pay Crystal Palace £3.77m following his departure from the club in 2014 after he was found to have deceived a Premier League managers’ arbitration tribunal.

The West Bromwich Albion coach left his post as the manager at Selhurst Park less than 48 hours before their opening game of the season against Arsenal after a dispute over a £2m “survival” bonus he was due for saving Palace from relegation. The Palace owner, Steve Parish, agreed to pay Pulis the bonus more than two weeks before it was due but then demanded he return it following his sudden and unexpected departure two days later.

In March, the Premier League’s mediation panel found in favour of Palace and Parish, with Pulis ordered to return the bonus and pay a further £1m in legal costs and damages for breach of contract. That decision was appealed against by Pulis but a ruling from the Commercial Court last week dismissed his appeal and ordered him to pay liquidated damages for £1.5m as well as £2.276m damages “for deceit”.

Detail has emerged in a written ruling published by the judge on Monday. Pulis alleged there had been “serious irregularity” in the panel’s initial decision, which was taken under the FA’s Rule K Arbitrations – a method of resolving disputes without going to court which usually ensures confidentiality. However, Judge Sir Michael Burton dismissed Pulis’ appeal after upholding the panel’s verdict he had made two fraudulent misrepresentations.

The first related to a claim Pulis had assured Parish he was committed to the club and would be staying until at least 31 August 2014, when the bonus was due to be paid. He had told Palace he urgently needed the money early so “he could buy some land for his children” but Sir Michael found there was a “lack of evidence” to support this claim.

Pulis had also alleged a “heated players meeting” (HPM) took place on 12 August but the mediation panel ruled it had, in fact, taken place on 8 August – four days before he received the payment. That was despite oral evidence to the contrary from the Palace players Lewis Price and Stuart O’Keefe, although that was dismissed by the judge due to evidence provided by Parish that he had not been at the training ground, including his presence at a hairdressers on the day in question.

“The arbitrators set the oral evidence for the claimant against the following,” read the ruling. “First the evidence of Mr Parish, the chairman, in the following paragraphs. In paragraph 45 the evidence of Mr Parish is recorded that the HPM could not have taken place on 12 August as the claimant claimed, since he, Mr Parish, was not at the training ground on 12 August.

“But so far as Mr Parish is concerned, the arbitrators set out in paragraphs 56, 57, 62, 63, 64 and 78 to 79 the evidence which was adduced as to Mr Parish’s movements on 12 August, and the supportive evidence of taxi fares, of telecommunications evidence called as expert evidence, and the hairdressing salon at which he attended on the relevant morning when the HPM is said to have occurred, and the arbitrators were persuaded by that evidence.”

The panel added that Pulis was “not willing to concede that the heated players’ meeting did not occur on 12 August because he otherwise had no explanation [for his departure]”.

The original ruling found Pulis’ standards of conduct had “been shown to be disgraceful”. That was referenced in Sir Michael’s final decision which said he had “reached a consequential conclusion that it was appropriate in the circumstances to make an award of indemnity costs because of their conclusions as to the conduct of the claimant.”

The judge said he had analysed Pulis’s complaints about the arbitrators’ decisions and concluded his challenge should be dismissed. He said he would enforce the damages awarded by the arbitrators. Sir Michael said the arbitration panel had heard evidence behind closed doors.

He had also analysed Pulis’s challenge at a private hearing – in line with judges’ normal policy but thought it appropriate his ruling should be made public.

big tony stole two million pounds from crystal palace and then immediately resigned when he could have just waited two weeks to get the money legitimately, then he lied about why he resigned so it didn't look like he was just waiting until he could get the cash and book it. now he has to pay back nearly twice what he originally got from them for being such a moron :thumbsup:

also apparently tony pulis goes to hairdressers despite having very little hair
