Reading are making the first-ever league visit to the Kassam Stadium tomorrow for another eagerly-anticipated Thames Valley Derby.

Selling out the away allocation in under 48 hours, it is the first trip to the U's for over 20 years as a new generation experiences the highs and lows of derby day.

More than 20 arrests were made at the first fixture last month, a 1-1 draw in front of over 15,000 at the SCL Stadium, as Sam Smith returned to haunt his former employers.

But what can fans expect tomorrow?

In discussions with both clubs for weeks, the first adaptation announced was the move to a lunchtime (12.30pm) kick-off at the Kassam Stadium- presumably in the hope of giving supporters less time to enjoy the local pubs around the area.

It must be noted that alcohol will not be served in the away concourses either.

Releasing an extensive operation press release, Thames Valley Police have also confirmed a dispersal order in both Oxford and Didcot from 8am on Saturday until 8pm.

This gives the police the right to 'disperse individuals and groups of people causing harassment, alarm or distress from the locality.'

There is also a Section 60 AA order, which 'gives an officer the power to require any person to remove an item which the officer reasonably believes the person intends to wear to conceal their identity.'

In addition to this, a number of tactics such as the use of Football Spotters, Mounted Officers, Police Dogs and Drones will also be deployed.

Superintendent Adrian Hall, Tactical Commander for the policing operation said: “The majority of people attending this game will be there to enjoy the football and our officers will be there throughout the day and on hand to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to approach them.

“We continue to work with both football clubs, our partners and local communities to ensure a safe operation and prevent those who pose a risk of anti-social behaviour from impacting on others.”
