Football violence charges brought

West Yorkshire Police said the charges relate to an incident that broke out following the match between Huddersfield and Millwall on April 16.

Shortly after the game at the Galpharm stadium, which visitors Millwall lost 1-0, violence erupted between fans at Wakefield Road in the Waterloo area of Huddersfield.

All 21 men – six from the London area and 15 from Huddersfield – will appear before magistrates on two separate dates before the end of this month.

Charges include violent disorder, assisting offenders, affray, possessing an offensive weapon and breach of a football banning order.
