WE HAVE LANDED !
England fans in Nuremberg for the team's World Cup clash can expect a tougher approach, the head of British police at the World Cup has said.

The residential nature of the city centre will see police use preventative powers to stop trouble, Assistant Chief Constable Steve Thomas said.

A number of English supporters were arrested in Frankfurt, where England played their first match on Saturday.

But ACC Thomas warned there could be more arrests in Nuremberg.

He said: "The England supporters must understand that we are guests in Nuremberg, and that our behaviour has to be as the guests.

"Unless they behave very well, we may see slightly more arrests here than we did in Frankfurt, because the police are more likely to use their preventative powers here because of the beauty of the town."
