There were shocking scenes of hooliganism last night as Stoke City fans trashed Port Vale's stadium, attacked police and pelted the pitch with bottles and flares.
More than 4,000 tickets had been sold to Stoke fans for the first Potteries derby in 16 years, even though it featured their under-21 side.
A febrile atmosphere at the Checkatrade Trophy clash erupted into violence as away fans ripped seats from the stands and launched them at police, along with coins and cigarette lighters.
At least 12 people were arrested, while one steward was seen being led away injured, apparently after being hit by a chair.
Police said more arrests are expected in the coming days after they have scoured through CCTV footage to identity the yobs.

The atmosphere turned ugly at half time when Stoke fans trashed facilities in the away enclosure, ripping out toilet seats and smashing windows, according to Stoke-on-Trent Live.
Flares were tossed onto the pitch during play while Port Vale goalscorer Luke Hannant was pelted with a beer bottle after celebrating near the away fans. He picked this up and tossed it away.
Images showed a line of police clad in riot gear holding the boundary of the pitch after the final whistle, as Stoke fans were held back to prevent a repeat of the fights between rival fans that took place before the game.
Clashes inside the stadium followed, with some officers having to use truncheons to hold the hooligans back. A nearby pub was also trashed.

Chief Superintendent Wayne Jones, of Staffordshire Police, said: 'The behaviour of a significant section of those in the away stand was unacceptable and I would like to reassure the local community that we will do all we can to bring those responsible to justice.'
Port Vale Supporters' Club chairman Mark Porter, who was inside the ground, said: 'It was absolutely appalling.
'Some of the away 'fans' clearly came simply to cause trouble. They were throwing bottles, lighters, coins, seats - you name it.
'Dozens of seats have been wrecked. They are an absolute disgrace to their club and should be banned.'

Another tweeted: 'No need for half of what I witnessed. Banter is one thing the rest should stay in the 80s.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
