Only one Chester FC fan had to be banned from going to matches during the 2015/16 season.

There were also just six arrests from the thousands of Blues supporters who attended more than 50 games.

Both totals are also down on the 2014/15 campaign.

The Government has released the data as part of its annual release from the Office of National Statistics.

The lone ‘fan’ was given a football banning order to ‘prevent violence or disorder’ at further matches.

A total of 17 Chester supporters were serving bans, including suspensions issued in past seasons, as of August 1.

Eight of these were dished out to those who broke a minute’s silence with chants mocking a Wrexham fan’s death during the derby in September 2014.

Read last season's figures below:

Football banning orders last for a minimum of three years but can be increased to five. If a custodial sentence is handed down for the original offence, the orders can last up to 10 years.

They prevent the person from attending any football game across the country.

They also prevent hooligans travelling abroad to see the England national team.

Across the rest of the National League during 2015/16, there were 27 FBO’s handed out and a total of 74 arrests.

A total of 15 teams in the league were not hit with any orders.

Tranmere had the most in the division with eight, followed by Wrexham and Aldershot who each had four.

Grimsby and Kidderminster were the other two clubs alongside Chester to receive just one.

Chester's overall total of 17 is the fourth highest in the National League. Lincoln City have the most with 35.
