Luton fans banned from Watford pubs on day of Championship match
Planning for the game started four months ago.
Ch Insp Grout, a self-confessed Watford supporter, added: “If [Watford fans] wait for 15 minutes after the game, once Luton fans have exited, we will open up Vicarage Road.
“It’s an important match for both teams and I want people to come and enjoy the game and be safe.
“If fans are intent on coming to cause disorder we will deal with that accordingly, so please don’t come.
“Our plans in place will happen and everyone will come watch a game of football and go home safely.”
There will be drink kiosks open for Watford fans who choose to wait for the opening of Vicarage road.
Luton last visited Vicarage Road in October 2022 when the team lost 4-0 against Watford.
