THREE Grimsby Town supporters and five from Gateshead were arrested at Grimsby Town's Conference play-off semi final in the north east on Sunday, police have confirmed.
It was initially revealed that eight people were arrested before, during and after the game, which the Mariners lost 3-1 and 4-2 on aggregate.
A 46-year-old man from Grimsby was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and is due to appear at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Thursday, May 15.
Another Grimsby man, 45, was cautioned for being drunk and disorderly, and a third, 18, was cautioned for possessing a class A drug.
One Gateshead man has been bailed after being arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct while another was charged for breaching a banning order, and a third was charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Superintendent Gillian Mitchell, of Northumbria Police, said: "The match was well attended and the vast majority of fans from both teams were well behaved.
"Officers dealt with the small minority who were causing problems."
Police have also moved to quash a rumour that a fan died at the game, and denied that a supporter had been hit by a flare.
However, it has been confirmed an unnamed Grimsby fan has made a full recovery after suffering a heart attack at the turnstiles before the game kicked off.
Investigations continue into fans tearing up seats.
