Pub bosses have introduced stricter rules after football fans stopped a bus following England's tense win over Tunisia.

Revellers must have tickets in order to gain entry to The Phoenix in Ashford on Sunday to watch the Three Lions' next World Cup game against Panama.

It comes after a crowd of fans stopped traffic on Monday night when some tried to clamber on a police car.

The number of fans allowed to enter the premises to watch the game on Sunday has been capped at 250.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page, The Phoenix said: "We have been asked by police and the council to let our Facebook followers know that on leaving the pub after any football match, you leave in an orderly manner keeping Tufton Street clear.

"Unfortunately should Tufton Street traffic be held, as happened on Monday, then they will ask we do not show any more games.

"Please assist us in keeping The Phoenix the best place in town for sport."

The pub is working with Ashford Borough Council (ABC) and police to introduce steps to control the behaviour of excited fans.

Manager Lee Simons added: "We have planned to disperse people gradually instead of letting people leave at the same time.

"The game is still going ahead of Sunday but people will not be allowed entry without a ticket."

Tickets are free of charge and can be collected from the pub in Tufton Street ahead of the next match.

Police spokesman confirmed officers have spoken to pub managers, saying: "the pub has responded positively to suggestions for some extra measures to be put in place when forthcoming events are being screened.

"We encourage all football fans to enjoy the rest of World Cup, keep yourself safe and behave responsibly."

A spokesperson from ABC said: "while we want football fans to enjoy the World Cup in the town centre we need to ensure the wider public can also enjoy the area and normal services such as buses can operate freely.

“Measures have been implemented to reduce the likelihood of this type of behaviour from reoccurring."
