"As well as ensuring the convoy of coaches gets on its journey from Ashton Gate to the M4, we will also have officers in Swansea to spot any known troublemakers. "Our message to Bristol City fans could not be simpler - if you want to go to the match you will have to travel on one of the designated coaches."
