AT least two football fan have been stabbed and violent battles have broken out between rival football fans in "large-scale" crowd trouble, police said tonight.

Hundreds of fans are involved in the disorder which police said was caused by people without tickets to the West Ham versus Millwall game who had planned to start trouble.

A spokesman for Metropolitan Police said more officers were being rushed to the scene outside Upton Park, in east London.

"There is large-scale trouble involving hundreds of fans which we are dealing with at the moment," he added.

Officers have made two arrests, one for disorder and the second for breach of a banning order.

Police said one of the stabbings, in Priory Road close to the stadium, is connected to the fighting and the man is being treated by paramedics.

Inside Upton Park pockets of violence also broke out. Some supporters made it on to the pitch.

The rival fans taunted one another as news of the fighting outside filtered through.

As West Ham took the lead in extra time 50 or 60 fans ran on the pitch. The players were forced off the field for a short time.

Outside John Whittingham, 35, a caretaker who lives near the ground, said: "There were lots of scuffles and fights before the game. I saw a couple of people with bloody faces. There was lots of shouting and a lot of bottles were thrown.

"People were throwing bricks but I haven't got a clue where they were finding them. Some people were trying to rip bollards off the pavement. There were also some small fires lighted."

Builder Peter Simpson, 35, from Southend, Essex, said the clashes were between rival football fans.

"It was kicking off all over the place and the police didn't seem to be able to stop it," he said. "There were quite a few people injured. It was quite nasty."

As a helicopter buzzed overhead, scores of police officers in riot gear lined the streets.

By 9.45pm, the trouble seemed to have been brought under control but officers remained outside the ground in readiness for the final whistle.

It just doesn't make any sense how these people actually want to plan to batter the shit out of eachother.

That wouldnt have stopped the fighting outside the stadium.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

i'd say its shocking, but it really isnt.

Don't like either team tbh.

[Jessman 9]

My uncle went to the game, he said it was as worse as back in the day, he said He is disgusted in the fans.

So bloody stupid.....

The funny thing about it is that the main reason that there was trouble and violence is because it was expected of them in this game....
