Football-related arrests involving Reading have more than doubled from last season, according to government figures.
Last year, the Royals were among the lowest with just eight arrests, and that in itself was double pre-Covid levels.
This has jumped to 19 for the 2021/22 campaign, still in the bottom half of the Championship for arrests.
For a point of comparison, Burnley had 50 arrests while Birmingham City and Millwall both topped 40.
Eight of the 19 arrests were for public disorder offences, while violent disorder, throwing missiles, offensive chanting and alcohol offences all featured.
There were a total of 2,264 football-related arrests in the top five divisions in England and Wales last season, an increase of almost 1,000 across a five-year period.
But that increased figure included 200 arrests for the possession of class A drugs, added as an offence under the Football Spectators Act in November 2022, and 101 arrests in England and Wales that related to the World Cup in Qatar.
With overall attendance up to 45 million at the matches included in the results, the number of arrests worked out at 5.0 per 100,000 fans, down from 5.2 per 100,000 the previous season.
A total of 123 arrests were made related to overseas matches involving England and Wales. While 101 were connected with the men’s World Cup in Qatar, none were related to the Women’s World Cup.
The number of recorded incidents of online hate crime was 234, up from 103 the previous year, although this rise was attributed to better reporting and recording of such incidents.
