The number 9 derby has always been one of the most supported and anticipated local derbies in non-league football.

During recent times, however, these games have sadly been tarnished by anti-social behaviour by some sections of the crowd.

On Tuesday, 12th September the two clubs will face each other once more at the War Memorial Athletic Ground - the first league meeting since the 2018/19 campaign.

In conjunction with the West Midlands Police, both clubs have determined the following course of action for this fixture.

THE MATCH WILL BE ALL TICKET FOR BOTH SETS OF FANS AND WILL BE SEGREGATED.

There will be no tickets available to purchase on the night from the turnstiles or the matchday ticket office.

Stourbridge fans must enter the ground via the Church End (bottom driveway) turnstiles, opposite Amblecote Church.

Stourbridge fans will have access to two sides of the ground - the open terrace and facilities at the Church End of the ground and the side covered terraces and main stand seating area.

Halesowen have been allocated the far end of the ground in its entirety, comprising of the covered Shed End (front only) and the two open side terraces. They have received an allocation of tickets to sell to their supporters only.

UPDATE - 6th September - With Halesowen Town having now sold out of their allocation of 800 tickets for the Shed End of the ground, the remaining tickets in the home areas of the ground will now only be available to purchase to existing home supporter account holders on our ticket portal with a booking history that excludes our previous meetings with Halesowen here.

There will be no tickets available to purchase on the night from the turnstiles or the matchday ticket office.

The turnstiles will open at 6.15 pm. Please allow more time to pass through the turnstiles as there will be personal and bag searches in operation.

Everybody deserves to watch a game of football without fear of injury or intimidation.

Let's enjoy the no.9 derby in the spirit it is meant to be!

Come on you Glassboys!!
