East Anglian derby disorder behind rise in Norwich fan arrests last season
There were 15 Canaries fans arrested during matches during the 2023-24 campaign, up from nine the previous season, with four new banning orders issued, Home Office statistics have shown.
The arrests included 13 at home matches and two away with four for violent disorder, eight for public order offences, two for possession of pyrotechnics and one for throwing a missile.
Canaries fans were also arrested after the game at Coventry where an 11-year-old girl was cut when a coin was thrown.

The increase in disorder was driven by the hotly contested 1-0 Norwich derby victory against rivals Ipswich at Carrow Road on April 6.
