Somewhere in there the situation got out of hand with footage showing one flarewhich seems to be coming from the home side, na taps the referee on the shoulder. At the same time a Wealdstone fan enters the pitch and he hits a groundskeeper who tried to push him away. Away players along with another home fan who jumped in managed to stop the rampaging fan.

The orange flair that hit the ref didn’t come from the @Wealdstone_FC end. Assume that will be in the match report… pic.twitter.com/Mkk6SmTao2
