Police have released photos of several people they want to speak to after a pitch invasion and disorder at a football match.

Trouble flared at the game between Chesterfield FC and Oldham Athletic at the SMH Group Stadium on 19 August.

Derbyshire Police said they were investigating reports of fighting and members of the crowd going on to the pitch.

It is also believed one of the goalkeepers was pushed, officers said.

The force said they were continuing to work with officers in Greater Manchester as part of the investigation.

Large amounts of CCTV had been studied during the inquiry, they added.

Previous pitch invaders have been prosecuted and given football banning orders, preventing them from attending any fixture for a set period.
