THE number of arrests at football games is on the rise again.

Hilton, who only took control in January, deemed his own position untenable due to rising debts and his ongoing court case with former owner Peter Swann.
Scunthorpe's long-suffering supporters have little to laugh about.
But it was impossible not to chuckle at the irony of what Hilton said when revealing he wanted to bail out.
In a statement he revealed the club was "available to purchase to the right people".
