The crowd disorder happened in the away end at Doncaster Rovers' Eco-Power Stadium

Bradford City has warned it will take the "strongest-possible action" after flares were set off during the away match at Doncaster Rovers on Friday.

Five flares were used in the away end of the Eco-Power Stadium and a fan was ejected for trying to get on the pitch.

The disorder, which caused delays in play, is expected to lead to financial penalties for the club, a spokesperson said.

The club said it was trying to identify those responsible for the disorder.

"Not only do pyrotechnics put the safety of those using them and their fellow supporters at risk, they are also strictly forbidden, as is attempting to enter the playing surface without permission," the spokesperson said.

Anyone with information about who might be responsible has been asked to contact the club.
