Chief Inspector Neil Williams, match commander of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As the district judge quite rightly suggested in their closing remarks, the vast majority of the 29,000 or so people who attended this fixture enjoyed the match and caused no trouble.

“Sadly, there was a tiny minority who let both themselves and other fans down through their actions and found themselves before the courts as a result.”
