POLICE have thanked North Yorkshire football fans for their good behaviour during the first England match of Euro 2012.
Extra officers were deployed in and around pubs and bars throughout York and the county to deter potential troublemakers. A force spokesman said yesterday there were no reports of trouble.
He said: “Hopefully the rest of the tournament will continue in the same manner.”
England drew 1-1 with France on Monday. Their next match is against Sweden on Friday, and the spokesman said officers would again be on patrol.
