And with Stockport having sold out their allocation, a video has emerged of a handful of fans trying to climb over a wall to get in without paying.

They were turned away by police and stewards.

Extra officers were on duty at Victory Park along with stewards from both clubs and it was hoped the day would pass off without incident among rival fans.

Early on Saturday evening, no major incidents had been reported in Chorley.
