Bristol Rovers' chairman has called for a full investigation | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
into the conduct of police and stewards at the match | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
At least two fans ended up in hospital, as Lee Madan reports. | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
Violence in the away end at Vale Park. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
I think it's disgraceful that a steward is punching supporters. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
These images were filmed by Bristol Rovers fans. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
It just got more and more aggressive and hostile as the game went on. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
What started as a row over a lack of a seating soon escalated. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
By the 60th minute of the match several had been hurt, | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Stewards are meant to be there to act safely and in a safe | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
manner protecting the fans, but when you're throwing punches | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
and headbutting a woman, I think that's totally unacceptable. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
After the match problems continued outside. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
This is Andy Williams - who has MS - and got caught up in the chaos. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
I came out the ground and policeman swung this person round and hit me | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
in the chest and I went down and cracked my head | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
People have been sprayed with pepper spray and they were their eyes | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
St John's Ambulance were rinsing their eyes out with water. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Tonight Bristol Rovers chairman called for a full investigation | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
into the conduct of stewards and the police. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
We'll do our damnedest to make sure it never happens again. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
You don't go on a Saturday to watch a game of football | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
and support your team and end up being pushed | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
to the floor and punched and headbutted and pepper-sprayed. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
So it's something you never want to hear. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
The BBC has asked Staffordshire Police and Port Vale Football Club | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Steve Hamer wants a full report from them on his desk by Thursday. | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
There's been criticism of the government for delays | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
in creating the role of our local metro-mayor. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Voters in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
and North East Somerset go to the polls in May. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
But legislation has only just gone through Parliament. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
On the streets of the West, campaigning's under way. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Labour brought in Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
to help their candidate Lesley Mansel. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
It came days after Parliament formally approved the creation of a | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Powers will include transport, with the | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Liberal Dems keen to focus on railways. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
But they've got little time to get their message across. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
For the individual candidates, whether it's | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
me as a Liberal Democrat, or the other party candidates, | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
this will be the biggest challenge that any individual | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
has faced in the whole history of west country politics. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Voters know little, some confuse it with the new Metro bus system. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Metro-mayor. Not metro-mayer. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Just made a real mess at the moment about metro-mayor. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
The candidates have ten weeks to enlighten voters. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
It's a very large region, covers over 900,000 people, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
nine constituencies, three major councils, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
so when we look at like that it shows how significant and | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
All parties are stepping up their campaigns to tell people what's | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
happening, but perhaps what will make the biggest impact is the | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
information booklet being planned by local councils. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
It will include details of who is standing and | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
It will go out to all voters a few weeks before polling day in May. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Paul Barltrop, BBC Points West, Bristol. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
There were a fair few extra dogs on the Bristol to Bath cycle path | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
this weekend where a charity fundraiser was in training | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to walk a hundred miles with a hundred different dogs. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Marc Aplin begins his non-stop dogwalk | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
It's to raise money for dog rescue centres, where he says 20 dogs | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
a day are put to sleep in the UK because there are not enough | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
And he's still looking for would-be companions! | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
It's already rather murky out there, we've got widespread mist, | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
low cloud, hill fog and I think we'll see a bit of light rain | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and drizzle over the next few hours, too. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
So a murky night but a very mild night. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
These are the values we'd expect by day. | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
Temperatures tonight getting down to eight or nine degrees. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
That sets us up for another grey start to the day tomorrow again. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Cloud will be thick enough, mainly over the higher ground, | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
There should be some breaks, partiuclarly | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
into the afternoon we should see some decent bright spells. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
A very mild day, one or two spots could well hit 14 degrees. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
I think it will stay mild, certainly for the first part of this week. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
A lot of cloud, though, and those winds tend to pick up | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
with some outbreaks of light rain at times. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Thanks for watching, have a great week. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Good evening. It has felt more like spring and winter this weekend. We | :04:58. | :05:15. | |
had 14 Celsius in North Yorkshire today, purely down to the wind | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
direction. The south-westerly will continue to bring in mild there on | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Monday. If anything, temperatures will be a little higher. It does | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
come with a lot of cloud, and already, it is misty out | :05:30. | :05:30. |
