Police have issued a statement after 'disorder' on the pitch at a Greater Manchester football match.
'Spectators' safety was put at risk' at the Saturday fixture between Rochdale and Oldham Athletic at the Crown Oil Arena, police have said. Greater Manchester Police says the force is now working with the two clubs to 'identify those responsible' after an apparent fight on the pitch, captured in videos circulating widely on social media.
In one video seen by the Manchester Evening News, a small number of match-goers appear to run onto the pitch and begin to throw punches. It is understood that those involved were fans of the two teams playing, fighting between themselves.

Chief Superintendent Niall Pawson who was match Commander for the event said: “Police are working alongside both clubs following disorder at the fixture between Rochdale and Oldham Athletic on Saturday 21 October.
“Thankfully, there have been no reports of serious injuries or criminal damage, but the behaviour of a small number of attendees put spectators’ safety at risk, meaning additional resources from across the force were required inside the stadium. This behaviour this will not be tolerated, and we are proactively working in partnership with both football clubs to identify those responsible.
“I would like to thank the majority of supporters from both clubs who were well behaved and contributed to a great atmosphere. I am sure they will be as disappointed as we all are at the unacceptable behaviour that was encountered.”

David Fincher says he isn’t responsible for how people interpret ‘Fight Club’: “I don’t know how to help them”
Fight Club, and that he “can’t help” people who don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a “negative influence”.In the film, Edward Norton plays an unnamed, discontented man who forms an underground fighting network with strict rules with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who persuades him to expand the club into the anti-consumerist organisation Project Mayhem.Many have observed that the film, which is based on the transgressive 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk, anticipated the rise of so-called ‘incels’, short for ‘involuntary celibates’, or straight men who believe their lack of sexual activity is due to political and societal structures.Speaking to The Guardian, Fincher said, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things.
