However, they reiterated that the fight was not football related, and was just between “two people involved in an on-going feud”, that just “escalated”.

They said: “We a hugely disappointed with the incident.

“It was not football related, it was an on-going feud between punters, nothing to do with football.

“It was an on-going feud between two people in the place and if we had known that was the situation, we would have got one of them to have removed themselves. But we were not aware.

“No one wants to see an incident like this, but it wasn’t anything to do with the football.

“It escalated extremely quickly, and just ruined the day.

“We are gutted.

“The atmosphere before that was insane, we had spent a lot of money setting up for the England game, with projectors put in.  

“We wanted to make it an event for everyone, and the minority ruined that.

“We couldn’t have done anything more to have stop it, it just got out of hand extremely quickly.

“However, we will still be showing the rest of England’s World Cup games, and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy it.”

French Martini has said they are still going ahead showing the upcoming England matches, but reiterated behaviour like that is not acceptable.
