VIDEO: Amateur club complains after Newcastle fans rip out nets

Hundreds of football fans have been accused of causing trouble before one of the Premier League’s most controversial matches of the season even kicked off.

Newcastle United fans disrupted amateur matches being played near the away end of Wigan Athletic’s DW Stadium by running on the pitches, dropping their trousers, ripping out the nets and trying to break the goals by hanging on the crossbars, a local official said.
