Understandably the club are keen to be seen to be being tough on troublemakers, but there is the unfortunate possibility that a number of people affected by this decision will have been innocent bystanders, rounded up as the police struggled to control the situation.
It seems unlikely that many of the people who organised the trouble were actually season-ticket holders, so they will have escaped without punishment of any kind for the whole episode.
A club statement published in the Sunday Sun read: "As a result of the arrests, certain season ticket holders will find that their season ticket facility has been withdrawn in accordance with club policy.
"In addition they will not be allowed to purchase tickets for away games in the UK or Europe, neither can they otherwise use or transfer their season ticket without the authority of the club.
"While it may be the case that fans found themselves caught up in this incident, the club takes this situation very seriously.
“The fact that fans were arrested while in Breda supporting Newcastle United is likely to bring discredit upon the club and jeopardise its previously good reputation in Europe.
"Once the police investigation is complete, the club will be writing to the fans concerned again."
Meanwhile Sir Bobby has appealed for supporters travelling to Switzerland on Thursday to be on their best behaviour.
"It is very important how our fans behave, there is a lot of pressure on England at the moment.
"I was very disappointed and angry with what happened in Breda. That incident tarnishes the club's name. It defames the club and it is a slur on our name.
"I was aggrieved and shocked that it had happened. It's very unusual for our fans to get themselves into trouble.
"You might get the odd arrest but for 80 or so to be involved and break up bars, well, I was distraught. I never knew we had that sort of support around us.
"It's now very important that we behave.
"I was in charge of England when hooliganism was at its worst in this country. We were banned from playing in Europe. Uefa banned us because of our fans, and I very nearly didn't have a job.
"I had to run a team with no continental experience and it took years for our game to recover.
"At one stage, not only were our clubs banned but the next step was to actually ban the national team from playing in internationals.
"It got closer and closer. We don't want to go back to that."
