Police are warning Leicester City fans not to travel to Nottingham tomorrow for the crucial end of season clash unless they have a ticket. The sell-out match will see both City and Nottingham Forest hoping for a victory that could give them a shot in the play-offs to win promotion. About 2,000 Leicester City fans will be in the away end for the game, but Nottinghamshire Police believe some away fans may have bought home stand tickets. Officers are warning fans to be on their best behaviour or face the likelihood of an arrest or a three-year minimum ban. Superintendent Mark Holland said: "If you don't have a ticket to the game then don't travel to Nottingham as you're likely to miss the match and there are no facilities for the game to be shown on television screens. "If you are lucky enough to have a ticket then please be aware that there will be high police visibility at the ground, and anyone causing football-related violence will face arrest. "The dispersal of crowds under the Antisocial Behaviour Legislation is still in force and will be used if necessary. "However we are hoping that fans from both teams will rise above the rivalry and just be a good sport by enjoying the game."
