A war of words has broken out between two non league sides following disorder at a FA Cup match.
Just hours after King's Lynn Town had drawn 1-1 at Worksop Town in the third qualifying round on Saturday, The Linnets issued a statement claiming that they felt their club supporters had been put at risk.
They said an investigation had been launched amid reports that children and a woman had been attacked at the end of the game in Nottinghamshire.
It came after Worksop scored a late equaliser to earn a replay - which will now be played on Tuesday night at Lynn - with the goal sparking alleged disorder in the crowd.
Responding to these accusations, a Worksop Town FC club statement said: "It is very disappointing to see King’s Lynn’s official club statement and it is most shocking to read the tissue of lies and unreported, unfounded and unsubstantiated accusations.
"The whole piece is subversive."
They said that for 99 minutes the match was "good-natured" but the "behaviour of King's Lynn fans" subsequently turned ugly after the equaliser.
It added: "Maybe our supporter celebrated the equaliser a little too exuberantly, but he did no harm to anyone and he certainly didn’t deserve to have King’s Lynn fans soak him with drink and aggressively move on him.
"Neither should the scoring of an equaliser provoke a petulant childish act of violence from one of their players resulting in serious damage to a pitch-side dugout.
"Credit to the King’s Lynn manager and his assistant who were embarrassed and apologised, whilst agreeing on behalf of your club to pay for the damage.
"At Saturday’s match, there was no evidence of drunkenness or abuse of laws relating to alcohol purchase and consumption."
The Tigers said they had liaised with the North Notts Police unit ahead of the game over arrangements for the cup tie but were told they could not see an issue with crowd numbers.
It added: "As far as we were concerned there was a minor disturbance which was quelled by our security staff.
"We have had no reports of assaults or injury, nor any adverse reports from police or any other authority."
