23 fans arrested after 'disorder'



Police have arrested 23 fans after “disorder” following a football match.


Staffordshire Police said its officers made the arrests after a “minority of fans” confronted each other after the League One fixture between Port Vale and Wolverhampton Wanderers.


In a statement the force said: “Police and club are disappointed by a minority of fans who got involved in disorder at the Port Vale vs Wolverhampton Wanderers match – 23 arrested.”


Earlier, the force had posted a statement to its Twitter social media account which read: “A number of so-called fans from both clubs are attempting to seek confrontation with each other and the police.”


Port Vale lost their home tie going down 3-1 to visiting Wolves.
