Wanted: Suspected 'Wolves Youth' hooligans hunted after Sporting Khalsa FA Cup violence
These suspected hooligans were being sought by police today after trouble flared at Sporting Khalsa's FA Cup match against FC United of Manchester.
Hooded louts brawled ahead of the game at Willenhall's Aspray Arena, with missiles thrown and stewards struggling to contain the violence.
Trouble started just before kick-off at the October 24 match, when at around 2.50pm a fight broke out between a group of supporters in the corner of the ground.
The troublemakers, who were said to be from the Wolves Youth firm, launched an attack on the travelling FC United of Manchester supporters. Fists and bottles were thrown, as stewards tried to separate them.
The tension seemed to simmer down, but just moments later punches were thrown again, a bin was tossed into the air and a flare - believed to have been thrown by a Wolves Youth member - was thrown on to the pitch as the teams warmed up.
Around 23 minutes into the game, an orange flare was thrown on to the pitch forcing referee Darren Strain to briefly stop play.
Today West Midlands Police released the image of 10 suspects.
A spokesman said: "There was serious disorder before and during the match.
"We would urge anyone who witnessed this disorder, or anyone who can identify those involved, to contact us immediately with information."
Contact Sgt Mick Wilkinson on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
