Subject Re: Freedom of Information request -
Crime Statistics for Football

Dear Sir or Madam,

Sorry, My message should have been clearer. I wish to know how many
arrests occured inside or directly around the City of Manchester
Stadium and Old Trafford during their EPL home fixtures. Each team
played 19 home matches (38 in total).

"Football Related" offences are just something which would not have
occured if the match had not been played. For example, Arresting an
individual inside the City of Manchester stadium for a breach of the
peace.

As for the Rangers/Zenit Fixture - I simply require to know how many
arrests were made because of the Zenit/Rangers supporters that were
in the City. Offences at this would include the rioting that took
place in the street.
