Police warning to Shrewsbury v Hereford football fans
Wednesday 20th April 2011, 3:32PM BST.
Police today issued a warning to football troublemakers to behave themselves ahead of the big bank holiday match between rivals Hereford Utd and Shrewsbury Town.
More than 100 police officers and staff will be on duty for the match and officers have warned any acts of public disorder will be dealt with.
Saturday’s fixture will attract one of the biggest crowds of the season at the Edgar Street stadium and police are anxious supporters can enjoy the occasion without incident.
They have issued a warning that anyone causing trouble is likely to be arrested, charged and put before the courts.
The local police commander has also advised all supporters to arrive in good time and reminded away fans they must have a ticket bought before Saturday. There will no tickets available to buy on the day.
Superintendent Charles Hill of West Mercia Police said: “There will be a substantial policing operation. There was some disorder last time the two sides met and there will be a strong policing presence to deal with anyone who does cause problems inside and outside the ground. Officers will deal robustly with anyone who commit public order offences.”
