POLICE investigating violence at Swindon Town's play-off match are trying to identify 15 football fans.
Detectives looking into the disorder after the Town's defeat on penalties to Port Vale at Vale Park on May 19 have asked for the public's help to find out who the people pictured are.
There were reports of fighting before, during and after the fixture. Officers are working with both football clubs as part of their enquiries into the bad behaviour.
Home fans flooded onto the pitch at Vale Park after their team defeated Town in a penalty shootout and secured a trip to Wembley last month. They went on to win promotion to League One.
TV footage showed some appearing to attack Town players trying to walk off the field.
Town fans in the crowd, including families with young children, later told the Adver they were pelted with objects thrown by jubilant Vale supporters who ran over to confront them.
A Stoke-on-Trent Police spokesman said: "If you know any of the individuals pictured, please message Staffordshire Police on Facebook or Twitter, quoting incident 213 of 16 May and providing the reference number related to the image you are identifying.
