| There were sixteen arrests following
Saturday's F.A Cup semi-final with Arsenal as fighting broke out between the
two sets of supporters after the intense match. The West Midlands Police have announced that those arrested around Villa Park after the game on Saturday are being questioned regarding a number of issues, including coin throwing. I personally witnessed one brawl, with supporters clashing outside the Trinity Road stand directly after the game. Apparently scuffles broke out around all sections of the game, but fortunately no severe injuries have been reported. |
