Why West Brom vs Wolves is kicking off at 11:45am as derby is handed unusual start time

"Whether it's Wolves fans in this area of the stand I'm not too sure, but there was a good deal of acrimony, punches have been thrown, the stewards and police are trying to keep supporters apart on the running track but there are fans all over the pitch.

"This is something we did not want to see here today, the security presence has been very strong and now there is a police cordon on the field of play.

"There is supporter carrying a young child in tears away from the scenes they are now on the field of play. There is absolute chaos here."

Former West Ham striker Dean Ashton remarked: "They've completely lost it, some of these supporters. Completely lost their heads!

"Yes I'm sure it is to do with possible Wolves fans in the West Brom end, we see just one man on his own in there being protected almost by the stewards as bests they can.

"You've also got supporters down there who have come from other stands and run along to get involved, and they're throwing things into their own supporters, trying to hit the one guy they're targeting.

"They're separating fighting fans in the stand, they're trying to get that one person out somehow through the melee while people are still throwing things at him.

"He's in a headlock being held back by a couple of stewards. People are just trying to throw punches at that one guy who they're trying to get out of the ground.

"The police are desperately trying to get him out, but the fans just won let them, they're swinging punches at him.
