Stourbridge v Halesowen Town 12th September 2023
​
The number 9 Derby has always been one of the most supported and anticipated local derbies in non-league football.

During recent times these games have been tarnished with anti-social behaviour by some sections of the crowd.
​
On Tuesday 12th September we face each other once more at the War Memorial Ground, the first league meeting for a number of years.
​
In conjunction with the West Midlands Police both clubs have determined the following course of action. West Midlands Police will be present at the game, and undercover ‘spotters’ will also be in the Ground on the night of the game.
​
The game will be segregated and will be all ticket for both sets of fans. Each Clubs’ supporters will be stewarded by their own regular match day stewards.
​
Yeltz fans will be housed in the whole of the shed end of the ground with access via the turnstiles under the arch.
