Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United fans sent police warning ahead of play-off showdown

Nottinghamshire Police have issued a reminder to football fans about the use of pyrotechnics ahead of Tuesday's play-off semi-final second leg clash between Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United.

The Blades travel to the City Ground for a second-leg showdown under the lights on Tuesday (May 17) with kick-off at 7.45pm. With a sell-out crowd expected, officers have urged supporters to act responsibly and not cause any problems regardless of what is at stake for either side.

Forest hold a 2-1 lead heading into the second-leg clash thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and Jack Colback at Bramall Lane in the first-leg; Sander Berge's stoppage-time header reduced the deficit and provides the Blades with a lifeline to still reach Wembley for the play-off final, where they would face Huddersfield Town.
