Police have issued photos in relation to a pitch invasion at the end of the Rochdale v Spennymoor Town FA Trophy semi-final on 5 April.

At the end of the match at the Crown Oil Arena won by the away side, fans from both teams entered the pitch.

After police arrived, supporters were dispersed but trouble continued outside the ground.

PC Rob Smith said: “We were called after fans from both sides entered the pitch after the final whistle. Although no arrests were made on the day and the fans were quickly dispersed, disorder took place between both sets of supporters inside and outside the ground.”

He said: “There are several people we would like to speak to about the incidents - anyone with information can call us quoting log 1198 of 05/04/2025. Information can be reported by calling 101 or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Adding: “You can also use the reporting tools on our website – always call 999 in an emergency. We will bring updates as we get them as the investigation continues."
