Wolves v West Brom: Police add officers as station escort remains unconfirmed | OneFootball

Additional police will be on duty for Sunday’s Black Country derby at Molineux, but forces have not confirmed whether away fans will receive an escort between Wolverhampton railway station and the ground. According to ExpressAndStar.com, the update comes amid preparations for Wolves v West Brom.

West Midlands Police and British Transport Police were asked if Albion supporters would be accompanied between the station and the stadium. Neither confirmed an escort would operate, while a joint statement from both clubs said specific post-match measures would help fans leave safely after the final whistle.

West Midlands Police indicated that arrangements for rail travellers are a matter for British Transport Police and said it would issue its own pre-match statement on Saturday. BTP said it has a full policing plan for Sunday, with additional resources and a highly visible presence.

The transport force added it is working with West Midlands Police, train operators and the clubs to support safe travel to and from the game, and reminded passengers they can text 61016 with any concerns.

Albion fans will be required to exit via Camp Street. Wolves supporters will not be able to access the area behind the Steve Bull Stand after the match and have been asked to use alternative routes.

Supporters are urged to follow instructions from stewards and officers when leaving. Routes and access may be changed temporarily if needed for safety.
