After following Yeovil Town Football Club up to the Potteries to watch their team play out at a 1-1 draw at Port Vale, there was disappointment for one coach full of supporters.

There have been reports that a coach was attacked and stoned, after the coach left the ground, with a window being smashed in the process.

Speaking to Somerset Live , Paul Hadlow of the Green & White Supporters Club, who organises some of the travel for fans going to Yeovil Town's away games, has spoken about the moment their coach came under fire.

He told us: "We were driving out of Port Vale and got to the top of the road, when the coach was stoned. The windows were hit by the stones and one was smashed.

"There was quite a bit of damage and the stones were thrown from the side of the road, though we couldn't see who had done it as it was dark.

"It was so disappointing as we haven't had that sort of thing happen for a long time."

Another Yeovil Town fan took to Twitter to condemn the attack, saying that someone could have been killed in an attack like that.

Paul went on to say that the supporters coach was full of fans of all ages.

"It wasn't like the coach was full of 'lads', there were senior citizens and children on there.

"We had been in Port Vale's social club and everything had been friendly and we were chatting with their fans. It is so disappointing that some mindless idiots have tried to ruin the trip.

"There was also a stupid idiot on Twitter, offering to fight Yeovil fans but they soon deleted the tweet.

"We have informed police but not sure whether we will hear any more about it."
