POLICE will be on the look-out for troublemakers at this weekend's Wrexham AFC and Oldham Athletic match.
North Wales Police has warned anyone suspected in being involved in the disorder before last month's match at Oldham will be detained if they try and attend Sunday's match at The Racecourse.
In total, 11 disorder-related arrests were made by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers following the National League fixture at Boundary Park on October 1.
An investigation was launched immediately afterwards, with North Wales Police providing full support to GMP’s enquiries.

Efforts to identify those responsible remain ongoing, with CCTV footage and other evidence reviewed by investigating officers.
Chief Superintendent Mark Williams said: “The violent scenes witnessed last month involving a minority of Wrexham and Oldham supporters were wholly unacceptable.
“On what should have been a celebratory day for Wrexham, a small number of fans who were intent on violence tarnished their club’s victory and reputation.
“Our colleagues at GMP continue to investigate this incident fully and those involved, who evaded arrest, will soon be identified."

The Chief Superintendent added: “As previously outlined, matchday policing resources have been escalated for Sunday’s FA Cup match, with fan safety being our utmost priority.
“My officers have been provided with the CCTV evidence and will be actively seeking to identify and arrest offenders who may decide to attend the match on Saturday.
“North Wales Police officers work closely with Wrexham AFC and we know the vast majority of its supporters are a credit to the club.
“We are unified in our view that disorder and violence of any kind will not be tolerated and we will strive to eradicate it when it occurs.”
