Investigation continues into violence in Chelsea v Cardiff Cup clash
Police have re-released pictures of six people they want to contact about crowd trouble during Chelsea's clash with Cardiff last year.
Police are still investigating a large scale public disorder at the end of the Chelsea v Cardiff match in the FA Cup in February 2010.
Previous appeals have been issued through the media, resulting in 96 people being charged with offences relating to the disorder, of which 59 have currently been convicted.
Detective Superintendent William Lyle of Hammersmith and Fulham Borough said:
"Whilst we have been successful in charging a large number of people in relation to this disorder the investigation to identify others involved continues. We are committed to keeping football a safe environment for families and are particularly keen to speak to these six individuals shown. I would urge anyone who recognises someone from these pictures to contact police."
The 5th round FA Cup match took place at Stamford Bridge at 12.00PM on Saturday 13th February.
On the morning of the match in excess of 100 Chelsea supporters began to gather in the West Brompton area. They moved towards the North End Road where they gathered in two groups. Following the arrival of three coaches of Cardiff supporters several clashes took place in the Fulham Road area between the groups, the most serious leading to smoke bombs being let off.
Police dispersed the group and the crowds made their way into the stadium. Chelsea supporters, who didn't have tickets for the match, continued to watch the game in pubs in the area.
As the final whistle blew opposing supporters made their way to the Fulham Road close to the junction with Holmead Road.
Tension between the two groups quickly escalated and police formed a line between the supporters in a bid to separate them. A number of Cardiff supporters broke off from the main group and cut down an alleyway onto the Kings Road, where they were met by a group of Chelsea fans.
Over 200 people took part in serious public disorder in the Kings Road area, missiles including road cones and bricks' were thrown. During the incident a number of officers were injured, with one male PC sustaining a facial injury that required surgery.
Following the disorder, the Metropolitan Police Service set-up an investigation team called Operation Ternhill to identify and arrest those involved, sending out a clear message that this type of violence will not be tolerated.
If you recognise someone in these pictures or have information regarding the incidents please contact police on 020 8246 2712 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
