A Hartlepool United commissioner has suffered serious injuries after being assaulted at the Bradford City match.
Bradford City AFC are investigating disturbances at Suit Direct Stadium on Tuesday night.
Three men have been arrested, including a 29-year-old on suspicion of assault causing actual bodily harm.
Hartlepool United said three security personnel were injured at the other end of the stadium and all required medical attention.
In a statement, it said: “The club does not condone violence or disorder of any kind and will continue to assist the Cleveland Police with their investigations.”
Two 31-year-old men were also arrested, one on suspicion of common assault and the other charged with a public order offence.
The match day assistant who was assaulted was treated in hospital overnight and continues to recover from serious injuries, Hartlepool United said.
Bradford officials said they were working with Cleveland police and reviewing CCTV footage of the game to try to identify any other people involved.
The club said the three arrested men faced further action as it had a “zero tolerance policy towards abusive behaviour”.
Bradford AFC added that it “condemns these actions, which have brought the club into disrepute.”
Cleveland police were contacted for a response.
