Burton will be heavily policed
Staffordshire police will be out in force on Saturday for the visit of Hereford United to Burton's Eton Park according to the Burton Mail.
The force has written to to 17 known football hooligans warning them to stay away from the match.
Included in the 17 are 13 from the Hereford area who were jailed for their part in disturbances at the ground last time the two clubs met. Most of the 13 have now been released. They have been told that they will be immediately arrested should they turn up at the game.
Sergeant Gary Lote, football liaison officer for Staffordshire Police's Burton-based Trent Valley division, said: "The warnings have been sent because of the recent history of these so called supporters who are not wanted at any of our matches.
"We want to send out a very clear message that police in Trent Valley will not tolerate violence of any description, particularly football.
"Extra police officers from Burton and West Mercia will be on duty before, during and after Saturday's game. Mobile and static CCTV systems will also be used to record any incidents and to identify individuals if need be."
