New clip sees Grimsby and Doncaster fans take to goad each other before police take down an individual who looked rather worse for wear.
The League Two clash took place last weekend, but the incident as seen in the clip below, saw trouble flare up in the streets in the Cleethorpes area close to the Mariners’ Blundell Park stadium, with five arrests made ahead of kick-off.
One supporter was also arrested during the game before fans flared up again following the final whistle of a game which finished in a 3-1 win for Doncaster, a successful result for punters who backed that with a bet like Mr Mega sport.
A Humberside Police spokesperson said: “Throughout the day our officers were pleased to meet and talk to fans from both Grimsby and Doncaster – and we extend our thanks to the vast majority of the 8000+ supporters who helped make the day enjoyable for so many.
“Six arrests were made in total; five before the game and one during the game. Our investigation continues.

Around 1,200 Doncaster supporters made the journey to Lincolnshire to see their team come out victorious.
Flares were chucked onto the pitch following the away side’s first goal, which the EFL says will result in a club ban for those responsible.
The police spokesperson added: “We would like to reassure anyone who was concerned by the deployment of officers into the area last night (Saturday) that this was done to ensure there was no escalation, to prevent offences, and to keep people our communities safe.
“We are grateful to the vast majority for their support and understanding.”
Humberside Police have been contacted for a further update on their investigation.
George Miller netted twice, either side of a wonder strike from Harrison Biggins, before Grimsby’s John McAtee marked his return from injury with a late consolation.
For the opener, Miller went wide and sent the ball to Kyle Knoyle who was denied by Max Crocombe, only his team-mate to convert the rebound.
Grimsby tried to get an equaliser as Harry Clifton couldn’t find the target from 25 yards before also passed up a golden one-on-one chance after racing clean through.
At the other end, Miller smashed an effort shortly before half time, but got too much elevation on that attempt with Crocombe not having to make a save.
Biggins produced a sensational half-volley to double the away side’s lead shortly after the restart giving a mountain to climb for Grimsby.
The hosts themselves opened to the counter-attack with Miller slotting home his second for Doncaster before McAtee came off the bench to reply.
