Yeah... Been to both clubs many times & never had any issues but both have a bit of a reputation. Almost went last night but thankfully didn't.
From what I understand Nuneaton fans were throwing flares pretty much from the off & once they went 2-0 down threw them into the Tamworth fans which got a response to say the least. Tamworth fans also started fighting amongst themselves including the video @ccfctommy refers to & also badly beating up a steward.
Also reports of racist abuse of Nuneaton players from Tamworth fans which sadly wouldn't be the first time that accusation has been levelled at them either.
The game coincided with the Atherstone Ball Game which I must confess I'd never heard of before but seems to be a Shrove Tuesday tradition which has basically become a legalised punch up. I'd be willing to bet many went straight from that to the match last night & that, generally speaking a good % of those involved in the violence aren't regular fans of either club.
Either way, not to to have any police presence at a game like this given the rivalry & the importance of the fixture (1st v 4th) is unacceptable really.

Looks like the tweet you linked has been deleted but here's the video again.
Sounds like he's been identified but whoever this is should be doing some serious jail time.

I heard there were ugly crowd scenes, and that was before it kicked off

Anyone that kicks someone in the head on the floor like that should be locked away for a very long time indeed.
What a fucking coward.

Speaking of which I wonder what came of that Inbetweener who tried to kick Ramsdale

When I’m not at uni, Tamworth is where I’d traditionally call home (My dad is Cov based but always lived there, with my mum)
Anyhow I usually try and get down The Lamb once or twice a season to do my bit for my local non-league side (as I think everyone should) and I’m no stranger to a Lambs v Boro game and I can hand on heart say it’s one of the most ferocious games I’ve been too at any level - there’s a real hatred there and people laugh at me when I tell them that
Unfortunately Tamworth seem to be gaining a reputation in Non-League circles for causing trouble most weeks, it’s a shame as on the other side of the coin there’s some bloody good people involved at the club behind the scenes

£100 fine & some community service. Only banned from football for 4 years too (why is it not life?). Given he admitted assaulting Ramsdale & also throwing numerous coins it's a remarkably soft sentence.

Maybe watching Spurs is the bigger punishment

Flares are not often seen at the football, apart from Nuneaton where they're still in fashion

the 2 rules apparently are
1. the ball must remain in the same street
2. You are not allowed to kill anybody
I thought the first rule was you don’t talk about it?

Be fair, it's a fashion that's only just reached them
Yes, next week it's the latest trend - vuvuzela's.
