In other scenes of chaos, Portsmouth fans ran on to the pitch in Brentford today following a match.
Hundreds of visiting supporters ran onto the pitch after the final whistle and there were scuffles with police and stewards at Griffin Park.
But Portsmouth manager Guy  Whittingham insisted the fans were merely celebrating after the ownership of the club had been secured by a fans-run group after a long period in administration.
'No-one wants to see that happen but it is not done in a violent way,' he told westlondonsport.com.
'It is done because they are celebrating the club and I hope people appreciate that, because it's about the euphoria surrounding things at Portsmouth at the moment.
'The situation at the club has not been going on for the last 13 or 14 months, it's been happening for four years, and unfortunately things spilled onto pitch at the end.'
Struggling Portsmouth fell to a 3-2 defeat at Brentford after Clayton Donaldson struck with just four minutes remaining.
