FOUR fans have been arrested following the East Anglian derby this afternoon.
Ipswich Town fans were held back in the stadium at Carrow Road after the match to avoid a clash outside the gates. However, it is reported that some seats had been ripped out in the away stands and the toilets were damaged, causing them to flood.
A Blues’ supporter contacted this newspaper to say coins were thrown onto the pitch by a minority of people during the game.
Chief Superintendent Sarah Hamlin, of Norfolk Police, said: “I would like to thank the visiting supporters for being patient whilst the home fans left the stadium.
“The safety of the public is our top priority and I am delighted that the vast majority of fans acted responsibly and respectfully, making it an enjoyable and memorable day for those who attended.”
Ipswich Town lost 4-1 to Norwich City.
