The chief inspector in charge of the game doesn't even know the name of the ground! Chief Inspector Melanie Crowther in charge of policing for the match, said: “Our aim is to ensure that the large gathering of supporters from both home and away can visit the New Meadow to watch the game safely without disturbance.God help us if there's a problem with her in charge Seriously, can't remember any problems in the recent past, although we were held illegally after the match at Newport a couple of seasons ago, for our own safety apparently, but does this need to be all ticket, are Newport likely to sell their allocation?

It's strange but it never occurred to me that there might be trouble for this game. Hopefully they are just being over cautious.

Lets hope we are treated as law abiding citizens instead of automatically being out to cause trouble.
Hopefully what happened against Pompey will make them have less of a bullying approach.

Can't remember any significant trouble with Newport in the past though we didn't play them that often but I was always to believe that it was as well to be cautious down there as there was a group who sometimes used to turn up for some games intent on trouble. With it being a fairly local border game I guess they are taking no chances or have had a tip off

More likely concentrating on the 'racist chanting' from blocks 18/19 so watch your language! We've never heard what that was all about but if faces have been identified on CCTV perhaps expect a few collar's to be felt

There is history between the two teams dating back to the 1980 Welsh Cup I think. Plus like Shrewsbury, Hereford, Chester, Wrexham is a former Welsh Marcher Lordship Area with a savage history lol. I'm pretty sure what there unruly element did in Portsmouth and indeed recently at Tranmere put paid to West Mercia's finest judging them.

Dave after speaking to a few stewards on Tuesday they told me the racist incident had nothing to with the chanting.

Newport will bring a fair few up with there being a direct rail link between the towns and all that. I usually catch the train from Hereford for Saturday home games but unsure whether to for this weekend yet.

I pay my taxes in the belief that the police will ensure my safety for every game/event that I attend. It's their job for heavens sake. What a non-story!!

Looks like the police are trying to justify their probable overkill in advance. I find this a bit strange really, is there some kind of historical rivalry with Newport? I can only remember the time we played then in the cup, did something happen then? As an aside, it was a funny moment on Tuesday night when everybody spotted the officer hiding behind a wall in the away end attempting to covertly film the West Stand crowd.

Davy....honestly...! Simple error means she is incapable of doing her job? Or maybe even she is a closet fan and prefers the NM tag. Lets face it, lots of fans still call the GM the NM.

Covert filming is not permitted in this scenario under RIPA. Maybe there is a more simple explanation.

don't quite see why there's the need for this amount of police or media coverage? Bit baffled by this.

I’m looking forward to those who were offended by the ‘sheepsh@gger’ chants from Luton chanting the same toward Newport.

Not surprised WMC are treating this the way they are to be honest, As others have rightly pointed out, Newport is only 90 mins away on a direct rail link to Shrewsbury and im sure they will be well supported(in a manner of speaking) Knowing a few Hereford fans, Newport have caused more disorder at Edgar street than even the likes of Cardiff and Swansea including taking the whole Meadow-end one year, no mean feat if you recall the warnings Hereford fans gave us on this very forum when we last played them lol

I lived in Newport for three years back in the early 90's and there was regular trouble between the Rugby clubs nevermind a non-league county side. I can remember on one weekend when Newport were playing Neath on the Sunday and there was trouble from Friday Evening right through until Sunday after the match.
Since the way Welsh Rugby has become more regional and County have moved up the leagues the hooligan element has moved over to the football club.

I'm pretty sure what there unruly element did in Portsmouth and indeed recently at Tranmere put paid to West Mercia's finest judging them. Hi all. County fan in peace here. Looking forward to tomorrow. Haven't been to Shrewsbury since 1980. I'm afraid I must take issue with this post. Agreed that there was a bit of nonsense at Fratton railway station but mainly due to several Southern Neanderthals leaving the match early and laying in wait at the station. But where you got the idea that there was any trouble at Tranmere on Tuesday is quite honestly fabrication of the highest order. There were 87 County fans that made the long journey to Tranmere on that night. When we arrived we were directed the Prenton Hotel situated behind the ground, where the atmosphere was convivial and friendly, with both sets of fans mixing amicably. At no time was there a hint of trouble. Ring the Hotel manager if you don't believe me. After the match we returned to the coach were e conversed with the local bobbies ( who were really friendly) and they wished us a safe journey. I know teams have there own fair share of knobheads( I 'll wager you do too) but please don't make up stories just to sensationalise something that clearly never occurred. Best wishes for the season ( after Saturday of course). Ned

Why have WMP taken the decision to make their statement re. zero tolerance ? Any ideas ?

Point scoring should be for STFC to worry about. Thanks for the advice. I'll take that away and reflect on it. However after all the indignant bull from a few weeks ago it will be interesting how people will react it chanted. Remember if you do hear the chant make sure you report seeing as you were so outraged after Luton.

Think this type of statement is always likely when we are likely to get a reasonable away following, especially from a side not a million miles away across the boarder
We also know we have our own, small, but no the less worrying group of hooligans and it would seem Newport have a few too. Add in the recent "allegations" at the Luton game, and one or two silly folk in blocks 18/19 likely to do their best to communicate their feelings at similarly silly folk in the away end and you can see why the Police might get edgy.
