One man had to be treated at hospital for an eye injury.

The incident occurred at the Turf Hotel on Yorkshire Street on Saturday, December 14 at around 4:25pm.

PC Ross Bosdorff from Burnley Police said: “We know that the vast majority of football fans enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry and attend matches to have a good time, however, on this occasion, fans on both sides took it too far by fighting with each other.

“We need anyone who knows who was involved in the disorder, as well as the men pictured in the images, to make contact with us as soon as possible.”
