The force has made the pledge despite the violence that has taken place in recent fixtures.

Six arrests were made while seven louts are still being sought by police after trouble kicked off at the March 13 clash at Molineux, which ended 0-0.

One of those arrested, Jake Beetlestone, 22, appeared before magistrates in Wolverhampton and admitted throwing the bottle at a clash between the two sides on March 13.

Beetlestone, of Brook Close, Penkridge, Staffordshire, was given a £500 fine in addition to the three-year banning order.
