A video circulating on social media shows the large group of men brawling in the street.
The mass confrontation kicked off on Saturday night after both sets of fans were making their way home from different matches.
It started with beers being thrown as the footy fans goaded each other.
One man then leaped forward punching and kicking before backing off as he appeared to be kneed and punched in the head.
As another fan stands in the middle of the scrap he’s punched in the side of the head and knocked to the floor.
Falling flat on his back, members of the public stood in the road help him up.
A man lying helplessly on the floor, who appears to be passed out, is then repeatedly kicked and punched.
The thug responsible then runs off swearing.
Onlookers watched from nearby pubs with some shouting at the group to stop.
The Sun understands the British Transport Police were called to the scene.

Horrifying moment man plunges down ravine while being spun around in ‘astronaut training chair’ after it falls apart
THIS is the terrifying moment a man plunged down a ravine while being spun around on a rickety “‘astronaut training chair”.
The squeals of excitement from onlookers soon turned to screams of terror as the bloke tumbled off the cliff edge in Ayacucho, Peru.

In the footage, he is seen strapped into the dodgy contraption at the Cabrapata viewing point which boasts panoramic views of the city.
Two operators grab onto the chair every few seconds to send it into another stomach-churning spin as the crowd watches intently.
Bystanders can be heard laughing in delight as their pal flies in different directions on the chair, which is propped up by two metal posts.
But after 20 seconds of rotating, the frame began to buckle under the pressure and suddenly fell off without warning down the ravine.
The daredevil was still strapped into the DIY space simulator as he horrifyingly slipped away in front of his pals.
A shocked friend filming the stunt let out a blood-curdling scream, just moments after they were revelling at the man’s terror.
Miraculously, the bloke somehow cheated death and survived the spectacular fall.
It is thought that the frail frame that wobbled off the cliff edge saved his life, as he was strapped in to protect his head.
The thrill seeker was rushed to hospital after his near-fatal pursuit of fun, but is said to now be recovering well.
The chair is a budget version of the state-of-the-art Multi Axis Trainer used by space agencies to teach astronauts how to survive high-speed spins in weightless conditions.
The cliffside viewing point that the device was situated on is popular with tourists thanks to its spectacular views.
Extreme rides and walkways have sprung up at the beauty spot as people look to cash in on adventurous tourists who expect theme park safety standards.
Officials are now cracking down on all of them over safety fears and have closed them all pending safety checks, local media reports.

The Bill star reveals horrifying moment creeps in Audi A6 ‘tried to kidnap’ grandchildren by his home
THE BILL star Billy Murray has revealed his grandkids were almost kidnapped by five creeps in an Audi.
The concerned 81-year-old posted a video talking about his daughter’s narrow escape while out for a walk near her home in a small village in Essex.
He said his daughter, her partner and two children were walking in a “little tiny village just around the corner from our little farm”.
The children were picking wildflowers and his daughter’s partner had stopped to take a call when a black Audi A6 blocked off the road where she was walking.
The driver got out to speak to her and was “very familiar with her and chatting,” Billy said.
He claimed there was a passenger and three men in the back of the car.
They were Eastern European, he added.
He said: ” She said he was Eastern European and it was a black four-door Audi A6 and they kept looking at the children. She had this terrible fear all of a sudden. She panicked and called out to Mick.”
Billy said his daughter’s partner Mick could see the passengers getting out of the car and trying to approach the children.
He added: “They were going to kidnap my grandchildren, that’s what they assumed anyway.
“Mick yelled and screamed at them to run. As he ran over from the other side of the road they all jumped in the car and squealed off and tyres were burning everything.”
Billy warned his viewers “they’re still out there”.
He said the family called the police but officers claimed there was nothing they could do because no crime had been committed.
“It’s happening in Basildon and Grays and people are reporting it on Facebook all the time,” he said.
Billy is best known for his role in The Bill as Don Beech from 1995 to 2004.
The SunOnline has contacted Billy’s representatives for comment.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Su Pollard recalls moment Duchess of York threw bread on The Grand Knockout
With a wave of new LLMs, open-source AI is having a moment — and a red-hot debate
Here’s how ‘Succession’ handled that game-changing Logan Roy moment
In the third episode of its fourth season, Succession does the unthinkable — and we’re not just talking about Connor (Alan Ruck) finally tying the knot with Willa (Justine Lupe). This pivotal episode may be titled “Connor’s Wedding,” but it’s really going to go down in TV history as “The One Where Logan Dies.”
That’s right: Logan Roy (Brian Cox), patriarch of the Roy family, founder and CEO of Waystar Royco, L to the OG himself, is dead and gone.
Logan’s death is Succession‘s biggest narrative swing yet, bigger than any business deal or betrayal. If Succession is a game of chess, this twist is the equivalent of removing the king from the board. Scratch that; it’s the equivalent of throwing the board on the floor and leaving the other pieces to flounder in emotional (and likely financial) distress.
While the ramifications of Logan’s passing will be major — who will succeed him as CEO? — the most fascinating aspect of his death remains Succession‘s daring handling of it. There is no grand finale for Logan. In fact, Succession separates the audience from Logan’s death as much as possible. We never see him collapse on his flight to meet with Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård), nor do we get a clear shot of his body. Instead, we experience Logan’s death as his children do: from far, far away. It’s Succession‘s way of telling us that the moment of Logan’s death doesn’t matter. What really matters is his children’s reactions.
When it comes to Logan’s death, distance is everything.

None of Logan’s children are with him when he dies: They’re all at Connor’s wedding, something Logan skipped to speak to Matsson. Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), and Roman (Kieran Culkin) get a call from Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) onboard Logan’s plane. He informs them of Logan’s collapse and lets them speak their last words to him through his phone. The sequence is eerily reminiscent of Season 4’s very first episode, which saw Tom act as a proxy between the Roy children and their own father as they entered a bidding war over Pierce Media.
Tom’s role as go-between is just one of several ways in which Succession distances the Roy children, and by extension the audience, from Logan’s death. Just like we never see Logan fall, we also never get a clear glimpse of his body. We spend most of our time watching Kendall, Shiv, and Roman worry through the phone, unable to do anything for their father except react in the moment.
Succession heightens these reactions further by emphasizing the physical space between Logan and his children. Emotionally, these characters are far apart even when they’re in the same room, but after the Roy kids’ sound rejection of Logan’s attempted karaoke apology, that emotional distance has never been greater. Succession reflects that in its location choices. The kids are at sea, on a boat to Connor’s wedding, while a dying Logan is thousands of feet in the air.
Logan’s death is Succession at its most stressful.

The fact that both parties are in transit only adds to the tension of the episode. “Connor’s Wedding” is an excruciatingly stressful hour that sees uncertainty gradually morph into shocked acceptance. From their place on a boat — to a wedding, no less — Kendall, Shiv, and Roman have absolutely no control over the situation. All they can do is sit, and talk, and try to keep the news of Logan’s death from leaking to the press. Since we spend most of the episode squarely in their point of view, we feel just as powerless as they do.
Distance isn’t the only trick Succession has in its playbook to make us feel the enormity of this moment. As the Roys speak to their father and process the possibility of his death, the show strips back Nicholas Britell’s score — barely any music accompanies these key scenes. On top of that, continuous shots trained on the Roy siblings keep us firmly in their point of view, while the juxtaposition of the wedding celebration and Logan’s death only serves to heighten the horror of the situation. It also calls to mind a pivotal moment from Season 1, when Kendall returns to Shiv and Tom’s wedding after leaving a waiter for dead and has to act like his world isn’t completely falling apart.
One major difference between Kendall’s wedding manslaughter and Logan’s wedding death? The former is a finale event, while the latter occurs in the third episode of a season. Those kinds of major character turning points, especially a death, are the kinds of moments we’ve come to expect from late-in-the-season episodes and finales. That Logan’s death comes so early and that it comes before the deal with Matsson goes through are no doubt shocking. “Surely they can’t kill him now,” I kept telling myself throughout the episode. Yet kill him they did — and when you watch back through Season 4, you see just how inevitable it was.

On the one hand, Logan’s death is a wild shock to Succession‘s system. Just last episode he delivered a bloodthirsty speech to his ATN staff from atop a stack of printer paper in a Rupert Murdoch-inspired moment. In the speech, he waxed poetic about cutting his opposition’s throats before proclaiming, “This is not the end.” One episode later, we’re hit with the opposite. Even after all of Logan’s big talk while boarding his plane, it is, in fact, the end.
Succession has certainly hinted at this throughout the season, especially in its first episode. In a parallel to Season 1, Season 4 opens with Logan’s birthday — a reminder of his deteriorated relationship with his family and, naturally, his own aging. He even contemplates mortality with his bodyguard Colin (Paul Nielsen), wondering about what comes after life. In true Logan Roy fashion, he thinks the answer is nothing.
The parallel to Succession‘s first-ever episode also recalls the near-fatal stroke Logan has at his 80th birthday party in Season 1 — something he survives, along with countless attempts to wrest Waystar Royco from his control. After all, Succession has always made the point that Logan is an unkillable man. Yet the reminder of that first stroke is enough to make you realize that Logan is a goner as soon as Tom reveals Logan’s critical situation. Succession wouldn’t pull the same near-death storyline with Logan twice, especially not as the show approaches its endgame. Of course, the Roy siblings wouldn’t be thinking like that, so we’re left to sit with them in limbo as they wait for confirmation of their father’s passing.
To show Logan’s death or not to show Logan’s death, that is the question…

The only move more daring than killing Logan so early in the season is killing him offscreen. It’s a choice that is sure to be polarizing. People who hate Logan might wish they’d seen him flounder in his final moments, while people who love him might have wanted a chance to say one last farewell. In keeping with the episode’s throughline of distance, Succession gives neither party the satisfaction. Logan haters and fans may have different interpretations of the exclusion of Logan’s death. Is it a slight or a sign of respect to this character whom the show has built up as a tyrannical titan of media? A more likely answer: This is simply how Succession operates.
Throughout its run, Succession has made a pattern of not showing key events to the audience. We don’t see Shiv’s initial confrontation with Tom about his actions in the Season 3 finale, nor do we see the Roy siblings coming up with The Hundred. These omissions are a sign of Succession‘s confidence in itself — it knows the audience can infer characters’ shared histories given a few well-placed lines. However, it’s also proof that Succession knows when to show exactly what matters. We don’t need to see Logan die, we just need to know it occurred in order to understand the behavior of everyone caught in his orbit. The aftermath of Logan’s passing is what Succession is truly interested in, which is why we still have most of Season 4 to go. How it happened is secondary.
Succession is now streaming on HBO Max, with new episodes airing at 9 p.m. ET Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.
The ‘Succession’ Season 4 poster hinted at Logan Roy’s biggest moment
How are you feeling? Have you recovered from the emotional rollercoaster that was Succession Season 4, episode 3, “Connor’s Wedding”? This episode saw Connor (Alan Ruck) and Willa (Justine Lupe) tie the knot, but in an even more shocking turn of events, it also marked the death of Logan Roy (Brian Cox).
There’s no doubt that Logan’s death is Succession‘s most shocking development so far. It’s a sudden offing of one of the show’s most prominent characters, coming just three episodes into the season. Who could have seen this coming?
Apparently, anyone who looked closely at the Succession Season 4 poster! Sarah Snook, who plays Shiv, confirmed in an interview with Jimmy Fallon that the poster hides a clue. “You won’t know until you know,” she said. “There is a thing that once the season begins airing, it may get related back to this moment.”
The poster depicts the Roy family standing on a skyscraper balcony overlooking the New York City skyline. However, the hint is not lurking in the crowd of brooding Roys. Instead, it lies in wait towards the reflection at the top of a poster: a lone plane, flying through the clouds.

Aviation has always played a large role in Succession. The Roys are constantly jetting off to who-knows-where — and you know they aren’t flying commercial. Succession often uses flight as a power play too, such as when Logan blocks his children from departing in a company helicopter in Season 4, episode 2. However, air travel is about to take on a whole new meaning in the context of Succession, as Logan collapses and passes away mid-flight on his way to meet up with Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård).
A plane en route to discuss an acquisition deal might just be the most Logan Roy place to die. The man is incapable of turning his business brain off, even on his eldest son’s wedding day. Plus, thousands of feet in the air, he’s completely isolated from any of his family. It’s a physical representation of his emotional distance from his own children.
The plane on the Season 4 poster obviously can’t hint at all of that, but it did hide where Logan would die right under our noses. How very sneaky of Succession‘s promotional team!
