Police Officers were called to Radcliffe Borough's Stainton Park ground during the club's match against Lancaster City on Saturday afternoon. The Evo-Stik Division One North match was stopped for about 10 minutes.

Online video clips suggest the trouble broke out after Ramsbottom United fans and players turned up at the ground. Greater Manchester Police said three people needed hospital treatment but nobody was arrested.

On a video posted on the internet, Radcliffe's match announcer can be heard calling for order. "Can the Ramsbottom United supporters, players and officials please leave the ground and the Lancaster City supporters please do us a favour and make your way back to the top end of the ground. You are making a spectacle of yourselves; it is becoming embarrassing."

There HAS to be some back-story to this.

Anyone ITK ?

Ramsbottom's match was called off late on, so they went to watch this.. Absolutely no idea what caused it, but there must have been some bad blood from a previous fixture between Rammy and Lancaster.

Why did the players get mixed up in it ? Eejits.

But the saddest thing is Lancaster's strip ! In my day, admittedly a long time ago, they had a superb Blue & Yellow Stripes, and blue shorts.

I disagree. The saddest thing about this is that the bloke videoing it on his mobile, didn't hold the phone in landscape mode. What was he thinking of? Absolutely criminal.

That looked more like a bit of a pub brawl.

+1, his grasp on pronunciation of some words is worse than mine.
