JEPARA - The police ignored Persijap Jepara supporters when their proud team was away or traveling to Persika Kudus headquarters, Sunday, September 15.

Jepara Police Chief AKBP Wahyu Nugroho Setyawan said his party deployed 170 personnel to guard the Jepara-Kudus border.

"In addition to deploying 170 personnel from the Jepara Police, we are also assisted by additional personnel from the TNI and the Jepara Regency Transportation Service," he said in Jepara, Central Java, Sunday, September 15, which was confiscated by Antara.

He revealed that the number of personnel was divided into three points, which is a large road access to Kudus Regency, including in Nalumsari, Daren, and the border with Gebog District, Kudus Regency.

As a result, he said, quite a number of supporters from the Persijap Jepara team were about to go to Kudus Regency, but they were still driven away and asked to return.

"Even if there are still Persijap Jepara supporters who can still enter Kudus City, it is possible to go through small streets or rat roads which are not monitored optimally because the number is quite large," he said.

Meskipun demikian, kata dia, saat masuk ke Kudus juga ada penjagaan ketat dari Polres Kudus bersama tim gabungan untuk menghasilkan mereka agar tidak menuju Stadion Weergu Wetan Kudus yang hari ini, Minggu 15 September tengah melakukan pertandingan lanjutan Liga 2.

Based on the rules from PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) and the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), the supporters' ban on watching away matches played by their favorite team.

"This, of course, is for the sake of security, so all parties must of course respect these rules," he said.

Jepara Police personnel who are deployed at the border, he said, will be on guard until the Jepara Persijap team returns to their area.
