Sports Thread #1 For 8/25/09: Not A Happy Post Match Celebration

Ugly indeed
The "planned" scuffles, which involved more than 100 fans, appeared to have been caused by fans without tickets to the game, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said.

Reports suggested that some of the fans had been throwing missiles and bricks at one another and the violence between the two sets of fans was described as "serious" by BBC News.

Police called on reinforcements in order to help calm the violence, which has been going on for several hours.
By the way, West Ham beat Millwall 3-1 to advance in the Curling Cup.

And here is an update from Sky News about it, and the reporter is saying that this trouble was all planned out.
