A steward tries dealing with the embarrassing yet laughable behaviour from young Chatham Town fans in the 4-1 win over Kingstonian.
The clip was uploaded onto social media on Bank Holiday Monday and got a thousand likes and nearly a million views by the morning after.
A group of lads shout abuse, including ‘paedo’ while others gesture the scoreline. Majority of the crowd though watch on in hysterics at what was playing out in front of them while the lone steward tries moving them all while calling for back-up.

The game itself saw Chatham remain 2nd in the Isthmian League Premier Division, with 75 points from 38 games played, and 10 points behind leaders Hornchurch who had their game postponed.
Kingstonian meanwhile are now fifteen points away from safety with five games left and a significantly worse goal difference, putting the club on the brink of relegation from the Premier Division.
Kingstonian surprised everyone by taking the lead in the 63rd minute against second-placed Chatham Town, thanks to Eddie Dsane’s 23rd goal of the season.
However, the lead was short-lived as former Kingstonian player Simon Cooper levelled just six minutes later.
Jamie Yila converted a penalty with eleven minutes left on the clock, followed by goals from Kareem Isiaka in the 89th minute and Francis Mampolo in added time, extending Kingstonian’s lead slightly.
