Cheshire Police warning ahead of Crewe Alexandra v Wrexham

Crewe Alexandra welcome Wrexham on Saturday (April 20) in a top-of-the-table clash as the League Two season nears an end.

With huge crowds expected to flock to the Mornflake Stadium for the 12.30pm kick-off, police are putting more officers on the streets while additional train services will operate throughout the day.

Superintendent Claire Jesson, who is leading the operation this weekend, said: “We know that the vast majority of fans will watch the game this weekend peacefully and I look forward to seeing all fans enjoying the match, however a strong policing operation is essential to ensure the event runs smoothly and to prevent any disorder.

"We have worked closely with CAFC and the supporters' group to develop our operational plan.

“You will see an increased police presence in the area - this has all been put in place to reassure the community and ensure all supporters enjoy the match safely.

“Please remember to not only respect supporters of both teams, but also the residents who live in the vicinity of the stadium, and local businesses.

“We will not stand for any disorder and our officers will be on the lookout for anyone intent on causing harm to ensure that they are dealt with appropriately.

“I would urge anyone who witnesses any anti-social behaviour or disorder to please speak with officers and they will do all they can to assist.

“You can also report any concerns to Cheshire Police via 101.”

Crewe Alexandra go into the match looking to cement their place in the play-off places.

The Railwaymen currently sit fifth in the table, five points clear of Walsall who sit just outside the top seven.

Meanwhile, it will be a promotion party for the travelling Wrexham fans.

The North Wales side secured their place in League One last weekend with a 6-0 win over Forest Green.

Throughout the day there will be an increased police presence in and around the town.

Cheshire Police has also worked with local train companies to ensure additional train services are provided to aid fans travelling to and from the game.

Police have also warned that it is likely there will be increased traffic on the roads which may cause delays

As such, the wider community should try and avoid the area if possible.

At this time, there are no planned road closures, but this is subject to change on the day, dependant on the circumstances.

Any updates about road closures will be placed on the Crewe Police and Crewe Alex social media pages, as well as through announcements within the stadium.
