Norfolk Police have praised both sets of fans for showing a “good spirit” during today’s East Anglian derby between the Blues and Norwich City at Carrow Road, however, 12 arrests were made either before and during the match.
Seven supporters were arrested for criminal damage offences, three for assaults and two for being drunk and disorderly, while several direction to leave notices were also issued.
Matchday policing commander, Superintendent Dave Marshall, said: "Overall there was good spirit between both sets of fans resulting in minimal disorder.
"The policing operation was firm in places and these tactics were used to ensure supporters enjoyed the game and journeys to and from the stadium in a safe environment.
"A number of fans were given direction to leave notices as a result of their behaviour, which was enough to cause concern for officers who took this reactive measure in a bid to prevent disorder.
"These supporters had been spoken to by police and were fully aware of the standards of behaviour expected, but sadly their conduct fell short of this resulting in police taking action.
"Additional cordons were also put in place to ensure the safety of those attending after the match and I would like to thank away fans for their patience and their co-operation during this time.”
Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident in the away section in which lights were damaged.
