One witness told the Peterborough Telegraph: "I saw a group of men acting aggressively towards stewards after being told they could not bring beer into the seating areas.

"One of this group then fell onto the row in front and a fight broke out.

“I had to move as quickly as I could out of the way and so did young children nearby.

"It took a while for this to be contained.

"This happened just before the first goal. I left as I was shook up and I did not feel safe and I was not enjoying the atmosphere. I left. I missed the trophy presentation.”
