Six people have been arrested after fights involving supporters broke out in a car park following a football match.

The violent disorder started after Reading's home Championship fixture against Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

Scuffles broke out near to the KFC fast-food restaurant in the Reading Gate Retail Park off the A33.

Those arrested ranged from teenage boys to men aged from 13 to 23. They were all held on suspicion of affray.

All six have since been released on bail while the investigation continues.

The match saw Wigan Athletic relegated from the Championship after Reading drew 1-1 in injury time.

Witnesses and anyone with mobile phone or dashcam footage are urged to contact the force.

Reading vs Wigan is a punchline of a fixture and you're getting into fights at an out-of-town KFC over it?

I’ve seen the videos at the start a Reading fan gets huge whack on the side of his head and hits the deck. He gets up and has a go back at what I assume are Wigan fans a few punches are thrown some verbal exchanges and it’s over in less than a minute. Mostly handbags. I’ve seen far worse on a Saturday night in town.

We're on the verge of relegation, and now the pigs are coming after our firm. This season gets worse and worse.

Thick, knuckle dragging tosspots giving it the big one. So pathetic.

It's only a game.

Is this the oma theme of the week? It’s only football, only a game etc?

Did see some footage and it was shockingly shit. They deserve to be locked up for being useless

Well it is. Whats the point in violence? Is it really worth potentially dying over? Reading v Wigan??

[RG30]

All good preparation for next season

I saw this. It all kicked off as my son and his mate were climbing on a barrier and this moody Wigan fan had a pop at them and got a load of verbal from some lads behind us in the queue and then it kicked off. My son said it was the highlight of his day.

I saw a couple of the fights. Not surprised it kicked off tbh. Not that I condone it. Won't change the result. I thought the Wigan lot started it mind you.

You might say that. Yes it's a game but emotions can really boil over.

I don't think it's the answer but you'll see scenes like this if it's a big game. We also relegated them 6 years back here too and there were a few issues after.

Remember them invading the pitch and lobbing golf balls at us in a play off 1st leg back in the day.

Just ignore him, he's trolling again

Club1871 at it again, causing trouble apparently according to some people who were there

Sooner these hooligans are out the ground, the better

The BBC described it as being "near KFC", and I suppose that's technically true, but it's right outside the ground and at least a five minute walk from the retail park.

13+ year olds giving it the big I am, and it's deemed news worthy

Think they're two different and separate incidents. There's no way the guys in the video clip are aged 13-23!

And if the guy in the white shirt is only 13 we have a future Olympic Champion on our hands!

Talk about making the story fit an agenda!

You obviously weren't there.

There was no trouble in Club 1871. The nearest thing to trouble was when Wigan scored about 20 Wigan kids ran across about 20 rows of empty seats giving it the big un and a few kids in 1871 reciprocated. The extend of any "trouble" was a white plastic flagstick being tossed to and fro.

The fight was not in or adjacent to Club 1871.

Give it a rest will ya!
