After a Blues player was allegedly subjected to racist taunts at a previous game against Huddersfield on October 3, officers identified a guy they wanted to speak with.
Moments after the game began, the 52-year-old was taken into custody on suspicion of a racially sensitive public order violation.
Shortly after full time, a 20-year-old guy was also taken into custody on charges of allegedly attacking a steward.
