Thirty fans were arrested following Bradford City's derby with Huddersfield Town, but police said there had been no disorder of note.

The match on Saturday, which saw City beat Town 2-0, attracted the season's best crowd of 15,417.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed 30 arrests had been made for public order offences during the course of the police operation.

But the spokesman added: "There was no disorder of note during the day."

It was the first time the two clubs had met at Valley Parade since 1999 and saw City complete their first League double over the Terriers in more than 80 years.

Around 4,500 of the attendance was made up of away supporters who were housed in the Yorkshire First stand in Midland Road for the first time.

A police spokesman said the match had passed with relatively little trouble. A police helicopter was used to keep watch over the city centre in the aftermath and Midland Road was closed to City fans to stop rival fans mixing in the street.

The spokesman said: "We were pleased with the result of the policing of the match, there was relatively little trouble.

"The policing operation put in place managed to contain any potential problems."

James Cathcart, who works behind the bar at the Goose pub in Market Street, Bradford, said there was a big police presence outside the pub after the match.

"There were masses of police and police vehicles outside the premises after the match and I saw one man being arrested," he said.

"We had to close the doors of the pub for a while to stop gangs of fans from both sides coming in."

Chris Patzelt, Bradford City's safety officer, said: "From a crowd management point of view Saturday's game went very well.

"We had more fans in than on the previous season's best and considering the numbers and the local rivalry between the two teams it went fantastically well." Mr Patzelt said a safety assessment was carried out before every game.

Said significantly more stewards and police were on duty at the match as a precaution.

"The fans followed the guidelines issued, such as buying tickets before the game and turning up in good time, and the only incidents in the grounds were one arrest and a fan who had to be ejected but both were minor offences," he said.

Mr Patzelt said supporters of both teams had behaved themselves and had to be commended for that.

"We played Huddersfield Town away in December and didn't have any problems then," he said. "I am absolutely delighted that the fans are enjoying the game without any trouble."
