In addition, according to the official data of the Chinese Super League, Qingdao Hainiu's match with Nantong Zhiyun had a high audience of 21,166, while the previous match at home against Shanghai Seaport had an even higher attendance of 26,537. Based on the comparison of these two matches, Qingdao Manatee has been penalized for two empty matches due to violation of the law, and the club will lose about 40,000 fans' ticket income, which is undoubtedly a considerable loss. At the same time, thousands of fans will not be able to support their team at home for the next month, and this loyalty and passion should be counted on the account of those fanatic fans.
It will be recalled that in August last year, the Crown Prosecution Service issued a regulation banning a British fan named James White from entering the stadium for life. The reason for this was that he wore a shirt with the words "97" and "Not Enough" on it, openly provoking the Hillsborough tragedy of April 15, 1989, when 96 fans tragically died during the FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. This act had an extremely negative impact on public opinion.
Nowadays, in Chinese soccer, fans attack each other and besiege referees from time to time. Although the Football Association frequently issues fines as a warning, its deterrent effect is still insufficient. For those irrational fans who disregard the safety of others and seek only a short-lived thrill, clubs and public security departments should take joint action to ban them from participating in sporting events for life, in order to ensure that they can enjoy sports in a fair and competitive sporting atmosphere.
