In addition, according to the official statistics of the Chinese Super League, there were 21,166 people in attendance for the match between Qingdao Hainiu and Nantong Zhiyun; and 26,537 for the last home match against Shanghai Seaport. Taking these two matches as reference, Qingdao Hainiu was penalized for two empty matches, which means the club will lose the ticket revenue of more than 40,000 fans, which is not a small amount. Meanwhile, thousands of fans will not be able to watch their home team's matches at home for the next month, an account that should still be credited to these extreme fans.
In August last year, the Crown Prosecution Service issued rules requiring an English fan named James White to be permanently banned from entering a stadium to watch a match. The reason was that the fan wore a shirt bearing the words "No. 97" and "Not Enough" to the match, a satirical reference to the Hillsborough tragedy in which 96 people died on April 15, 1989, during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final match against Nottingham Forest. The fans' behavior had an extremely negative impact on public opinion.
Nowadays, in Chinese soccer, fans attacking each other and fans besieging the referee are repeated. Although the tickets issued by the Football Association can play a certain role in warning, but the deterrent degree is still limited. For extreme fans who disregard the personal safety of others and seek only a moment's pleasure, clubs and public security departments should join hands to get them now, banned for life from sporting events so that they can compete in sports in the sunny skies.
