Violence erupts at London derby

A man has been stabbed in the chest during violence involving "hundreds" of fans outside West Ham's Upton Park stadium during a game with Millwall.

Fights broke out at 1915 BST and were still raging more than an hour later. Police are assessing a man stabbed in nearby Priory Road at about 2025 BST.

A fan told the BBC it was the worst hooliganism he had seen in 30 years.

A Met spokesman said: "It looks like there has been some planned trouble disorder from fans."

He added: "Hundreds of fans are estimated to be involved."

British Transport Police said they heard reports of minor overcrowding at the Tube station near the ground, but their log shows no arrests.

'Bottles and bricks'

The BBC's Ben Jacobs, who is at the stadium, said: "The trouble broke out outside the Tube station about 600 yards from the ground.

"There were 500 to 1,000 riot police and Millwall fans managed to break through the divide.

"Bottles were thrown and bricks were as well."

He added: "There has been a bit of trouble inside the ground.

"There was a penalty shout and fans started gesturing and throwing small objects. But police do have this under control."

You should have had this down as part of your next treble. Nailed on outcome.

Kicked off badly but to no surprise. One of the biggest rivalries in English footy

44 yr old man stabbed outside at 8-22pm.....37 mins after kickoff

Millwall had a limited amount of tickets so those there should only be long-term season ticket holders.
Guarantee 100's of Millwall will have travelled the 5.2 miles without tickets.
Prob those that have started/been involved in the trouble.
According to the BBC the trouble inside the ground was caused by Wet Sham fans.
Kicked off outside the (British?) Queen pub a minutes walk from Upton Park tube. Been in there many times with a mate thats a hammer.

That would be The Queens on Green St, used to have the odd swift half in there after a game.

Sorry Pen, got confused with the yid shite, boozer near there is called that.
Queens is about a minute or two from the tube on the right as you walk to the ground if it is the one I am thinking of.
