Millers skipper speaks out after fan trouble at Rotherham United's derby duel with Doncaster

Police said one fan had been arrested for being drunk and disorderly and 15 Rotherham supporters handed dispersal orders

A clip posted on the Fan Banter website shows kicking, punching and pushing among the away fans at the Keepmoat Stadium following Rovers’ late winner.

Further footage reported posted to Facebook shows clashes in Doncaster town centre, with one man being tackled by police using batons, although it is not clear if football fans were involved.

Claims Millers boss Paul Warne’s wife Rachel argued with fans criticising her husband or was subjected to verbal abuse by supporters have not been confirmed.

Wood, who played in the game, said: “My son, Jenson, was in the crowd with his mum. 

“He felt scared seeing it happen. It’s not nice thing.

“It’s one of the great things about this club that the relatives of players and staff feel comfortable sitting among fans at games. 

“I want that to carry on. 

“I don’t want to stop my son coming to support the team. He loves coming to watch. 

“He loves the away days. He loves all the singing and the chanting.”

Chief Supt Shaun Morley, who oversaw the policing operation for Saturday's fixture, said: “A number of individuals were issued with Section 35 dispersal orders, in a bid to reduce the risk of crime and disorder and to prevent any distress to members of the public. 

Rotherham United declined to comment.
