Strong Police Presence for Shrewsbury Derby

Police have said that they will have a strong presence in and around the Prostar Stadium on Saturday for the local derby between Shrewsbury Town and Hereford United.

"There is no recent history of disorder but there will be a strong policing presence to deal with anyone who does cause problems," said a Shrewsbury Police spokesperson.

"Officers will deal robustly with any individuals who commit public order offences.

"We are working closely with British Transport Police and also our West Mercia colleagues in Herefordshire. A number of police officers from Hereford who are aware of known troublemakers will be attending the match to act as spotters.

"Anyone who has caused previous problems will be well known to them."
