There were 10 arrests for assault, violence and disorder, including nine Dutch fans and one City supporter.
As reported by the Bristol Evening Post yesterday, police were faced with a 30-strong group of drunk Dutch fans, all carrying bottles and pint glasses, who ran at them in Canons Way near the city centre.
One, a 21-year-old student, was arrested for hitting a police officer. He spent the rest of the day and night in police cells and missed the match.
Another Dutch fan, a 25-year-old builder, was arrested at the turnstiles at Ashton Gate after he kicked an officer three times as police escorted 100 fans to the game. He too spent a night in the cells.
Both men got conditional discharges for assaulting police officers when they appeared before Bristol magistrates but were each banned from football matches in England and Wales for three years.
The court was told that the crowd being escorted was so hostile that one officer was forced to draw his electric stun gun. Police spokesman Simon Whitby said: "All the arrests on the night were outside the ground or in the city centre, before and after the game. There were no arrests within the ground itself
