Sixteen 'Supporters' arrested at Tranmere

According to the Hereford Times 16 arrests of so-called Hereford United fans were made at, or around, Prenton Park yesterday mainly for public order offences.

They included disruptive behaviour, spitting at a steward, and making an abusive gesture.

Four fans in the away end were also ejected, while five were arrested outside Prenton Park for drink-related offences.

West Mercia police also sent undercover officers to Birkenhead yesterday to pick out troublemakers.

At least two of those arrested had travelled up to the game on a supporters coach which returned without them.
