They were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder. [LNB]Further arrests are expected throughout the day. [LNB]Detective Chief Inspector Mark Roters said: "Many families, including women and young children, attend football matches so it is totally incomprehensible that a small number of mindless thugs would incite violence when they are surrounded by people clearly terrified by their actions. [LNB]"Football-related disorder is a stain on the game and we have been working hard with both clubs and members of the public to identify those involved. [LNB]"These arrests also act as a strong warning ahead of the reverse leg this evening to anyone prepared to get involved in this type of behaviour that we will come after you. [LNB]"I would also like to thank the public for their great response to the appeal." [LNB]Eighteen arrests were made last week after the match and appeals have been made by the police and the Football Association for calm ahead of tonight's game. [LNB][LNB]
