Metropolitan Police confirmed six arrests, including two for allegedly attacking a 75-year-old Scunthorpe fan trying to board a coach.

The coach driver intervened but was also allegedly attacked by Millwall fans. Of the six people arrested, two were for assault, three were for public order offences and one for breaching a banning order.

That only six arrests were made given many Scunthorpe supporters have posted on the Iron-Bru.net messageboard about threats of violence and intimdation after the game.

"Every, and I mean every, Scunthorpe fan I've spoken to after Sunday has a story to tell of intimidation or trouble," wrote one poster on Tuesday.

"It isn't just the chav idiots that were to blame, there were a few on our tube giving it large - threatening to bottle my mate, giving some females plenty of hassle etc - but I just put this down to 20-year-olds' bravado on a beer up .

"The main problem is the intimidation by most of your fans, the pushing of any one in claret and blue walking down Wembley way, Millwall fans spitting and pouring beer [I presume] on Scunny fans in the car park, the constant eye balling etc. I've been watching football for 20 odd years and have never felt such an atmosphere."

Were you attacked after the game? If so please contact us with as much details as possible, including description of any attacker, and we will pass on the information to Millwall and if neccesary the police.
