 Police say they will arrest those they identify from last week's trouble |
Police are warning football fans to behave at a crucial match for Stoke City, a week after trouble erupted between supporters. Stoke face play-off rivals Colchester at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
Last weekend, officers and stewards were pelted with missiles during trouble at the Hull City game.
Staffordshire Police said they realised the significance of Saturday's game and they would have plenty of officers there to apprehend any troublemakers.
They will also arrest anyone they identify form last week's trouble.
Supt Bernie O'Reilly, match commander at the game, said: "Our role is to help football supporters who are going to the stadium to enjoy the match in a safe environment in which they do not feel intimidated or threatened by others around them.
"Given our commitment to supporting such fans we will be monitoring the crowd and taking the opportunity to arrest anyone who intimidates others around them or otherwise behaves in a violent manner."
