• In pictures: Coaches attacked

Notts County fans have said they were ambushed by "brick-throwing yobs" after the team's Carling Cup defeat by Wolverhampton on Tuesday night.

Three supporters' coaches were damaged, one severely, as they were driven out of a coach park near Wolves' Molineux ground.

One female passenger, a 78-year-old, was treated in hospital after being hit on the head with a brick.

The match was a stewards-only fixture with no police presence.

Supporter Richard Dearnley described the atmosphere after the game - which Wolverhampton Wanderers won 4-2 - as "intimidating", but stressed there had been no trouble between rival fans outside the ground.

Hiding in treesHe said: "There were dozens of youngish Wolves fans - teenagers that came round specifically just to goad the Notts supporters - but we just ignored them and carried on walking back to the coach park.

"Once back at the coach park we got on the coaches and the next thing we knew one coach had a brick through the window."

He added: "There was worse to come when we actually left the coach park because when the coach in front of us pulled out, immediately after it turned out into the road, some youths ran out and bricked it.

Chav scum. Shame that these type of morons associate themselves with football clubs.

Chav scum. Shame that these type of morons associate themselves with football clubs.

Ive always been of the opinion that if 2 groups of people want to fight each other then let them got on with it, but make them pay for health treatment.

But throwing bricks at people and buses is just unbelievable and as cowardly as can be ... these little cnuts deserve a £25 fine or told off by a community police officer or whatever the maximum penalty is these days for bricking 78 year old women.
