It's been reported that there was trouble after last night's game between South Shields and Scarborough.
It appears that the organiser of the Scarborough away travel was attacked after a group of young Shields 'fans' approached the area where Scarborough supporters were getting on their coach.
South Shields have released the following statement:
'We are horrified by the disgusting behaviour of at least one of our supporters after last night's game.
We will not tolerate violence at the football club. We are working with the Police to find and take action against the perpetrators.
We are gathering information and reviewing statements and other evidence, and are asking fans for their help in identifying the perpetrator/s. Anyone with information should contact the club on 0191 454 7800.
We would like to apologise to the injured Scarborough supporter and those supporters who witnessed the incident. We would also like to commend the vast majority of home and away fans on their conduct during and after the game.
We are determined to work as a Club to prevent any repeat of this behaviour and will introduce several controls for as long as they are needed.'
