Penalty punch-up! Huge brawl breaks out between England fans at pub
that charged £50 a table after Three Lions beat Colombia.
Mass brawl breaks out between football fans during last night's
match at pub Command House in Chatham, Kent 'got greedy' by selling tables at £50.
A shocking 20-person brawl broke out during the England game last
night at a Kent pub that charged punters £50 a table.
The scenes show female football fans joining in on the scuffle as a
group of men wearing Three Lions T-shirts lay into each other during
the England versus Colombia match.
One woman is seen repeatedly punching a man as he attacks another
man who's cowering on the ground.
A fan screams 'Go on girl!' as the woman, who is wearing a clingy
orange dress launches herself at the fracas.
The ugly scenes were filmed at the Command House in Chatham, Kent,
which had earlier in the week been criticised for charging fans £50
a table.
Beer cans and alcohol can be seen flying in the two-minute clip
before two security guards and staff try to calm the situation.
At one point at least 20 people were involved as the fight spiralled
out of control in the pub's large garden.
A second blonde woman then becomes involved as rival groups push and
shove each other.
The horrifying finale to England's win on penalties drew widespread
condemnation from Facebook users who said it showed the very worst
side of football.
Linda Feheley said: 'Should be a spirit of togetherness for the
England team not beating the s*** out of your fellow supporters.'
Sharon Knight simply said: 'And people wonder why Medway has a bad
name.'
Georgina Hawes said: 'The pub got greedy by selling tables and not
enough security but they are all adults and should behave like it -
absolutely shameful.'
Marylyn Ducasse-Hunter added: 'What a load of morons, they should
all be celebrating together that we won.' She then added: 'Makes you
feel ashamed, doesn't it?'
Earlier in the week, Kent Online reported that tickets for tables at
the popular pub, showing each game on big screens in their gardens,
had sold out sparking many to criticize the establishment for not
providing adequate security.
Wayne Wilkinson added: 'Command House needs to be held accountable
for it as I didn't see many security guards to police it.
'Would have thought at £50 a table they would have thought it
through.
'It is Chatham after all.'
Mail Online has contacted Kent police for comment.
