A large number of fans ran onto the field at Priestfield Stadium immediately after the end of season match between Gillingham FC and Rotherham United on April 30.

Fighting broke out among some supporters at the stadium in Redfern Avenue, Gillingham and objects were reportedly thrown.

The disturbance is being investigated by officers who have been reviewing footage from multiple sources.

They have so far arrested and bailed eight men from Kent on suspicion of public order offences including violent disorder.
