"They requested the police and he was arrested for a public order offence.
"Another man was arrested after the game at the station when the Millwall fans were waiting to board the train to go home.
"Again, that was a public order offence."
Both men arrested were from the Hull area.
Insp Naylor said: "I think the police presence gave the genuine fans who just wanted to enjoy the game some reassurance.
"They could see we were prepared if there were any issues. I'm pleased with how it went."
Hull City won the game 4-1.

“I would be so embarrassed if I was PC Plod to comment on this non event. What happened to police intelligence (I have surprsied myself getting those two words into the same sentence) they should have known how many Millwall fans were turning up. If I was a rates payer or whatever they call it now I would be livid at the waste of this money. I would be even more livid if I had my house burgled as happened when I lived in Hull and they had nobody to deal with it when they can find numerous officers on overtime to watch the Tigers maul the lions. The Chief Constable today should be asking some tough questions of those responsible.”

“How does this compare with the arrests at the recent Ladies' Day at Beverley racecourse?
@PerryFarrelll: Your point is a very interesting one. I suspect that the answer may lie in the fact that Gypsies and Travellers have been recognised in law as distinct ethnic groups since 1989 and 2000 respectively, and under the Human Rights Act 1998, police action to prevent 'em racing on public roads could be perceived as discrimination. [Especially by right-on people who live nowhere near them]”

“HDM sensationalism AGAIN.
Should the headline not read 'ONLY 2 arrests after Hull v Millwall' instead of the the typical sensational negativity surrounding Hull City that is spouted by this pathetic rag.”

“It's a pity the police can't put that much effort in when gypsies turn the streets of Hull into their own personal race track.”

“On Saturday, it looked as though the entire Millwall away support must have arrived in a minibus. An absolutely pathetic turnout but then again - given Millwall's appalling record through the years - they shouldn't be allowed to attend any away matches anywhere. What happened to the local police's video footage of the Millwall hooliganism that occurred at the match in 2009? Did the cops lose it or something? That abysmal failure means those same Millwall hooligans have managed to carry on creating disorder at succeeding matches at other grounds. I can imagine those cocky cockneys guffawing whilst regaling each other with tales of what they got away with in Hull.”

“With less than 200 tickets sold to Millwall fans there was never going to be any trouble at this game
No Inspector Naylor , I was not reassured by the massive and totally over the top police presence at the KC stadium , it was a disgrace and a waste of money”
