Wolves and West Brom Issue Joint Warning to Fans Ahead of Sunday's Derby
The two clubs have called for good conduct from supporters after trouble marred the teams' previous meeting, according to BBC Sport.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion have issued a joint statement urging fans to behave responsibly ahead of their upcoming derby match on Sunday, BBC Sport reported.
The statement comes after incidents of trouble were reported when the two West Midlands rivals last faced each other, according to the report.
Neither club provided further details in the portion of the statement cited by BBC Sport, but the joint appeal signals shared concern from both organisations about the potential for renewed disorder at the fixture.
The clubs' warning is intended to remind supporters of expected standards of behaviour as the sides prepare to meet again in what is traditionally one of the most fiercely contested derbies in English football.
BBC Sport did not specify what security or policing measures, if any, would be in place for Sunday's match.
