North Wales Police are reminding fans to behave responsibly when Wrexham play Tranmere Rovers in the FA Trophy tie this weekend.

The first round match is set to kick off at the Racecourse ground at 3pm, with the game to be decided on the day – so there could be extra time and even penalties.

The game is not being deemed a ‘bubble’, unlike recent Chester matches, and has seen a 3pm kick off rather than a mooted midday option. It is possible that the behaviour of supporters and others attending the match could reflect on ‘bubble’ decisions next season, assuming Chester are not relegated again.

Supt Alex Goss from North Wales Police said, “North Wales Police has a responsibility to safeguard the right of fans to attend and to safeguard the rights of individuals to go about their business.

“Public safety and maintaining order is our priority. I would ask that those attending the match to conduct themselves in a responsible manner and to allow others in the area to go about their daily business.

“Anyone who seeks to exploit this football match by behaving in a criminal, racist or anti-social way will be dealt with appropriately.”

The town also play this evening at home to Macclesfield Town, Kick Off 7:45pm!
