There was some despicable behaviour by a large number of fans, which has caused considerable damage to the away section of Vale Park.“We are taking this very seriously and I expect there to be more arrests in the coming days as we examine CCTV coverage and gather evidence of the crimes committed.
We are better than this as a city. Or at least we should be. If you're one of the morons involved in trouble or damage tonight I hope you get nicked. If you're celebrating this behaviour, you're an idiot. Thanks to @ChiefSuptStaffs and @StaffsPolice. V tough job. #PVFC #StokeCity pic.twitter.com/oRf4tISoMO— Martin Tideswell (@MartinTideswell) December 4, 2018“My officers have shown bravery and dedication tonight and the support from stewards and partners has been first class in ensuring that those intent on fighting each other were unable to do so.“I am also grateful for local pubs working with us and shutting early to ensure the safety of those in Burslem.”Mr Jones added: “This kind of behaviour is not acceptable and I would like to reassure you that we will do all we can to bring those responsible to justice.”
