From what I saw on TV at the time, I certainly would lay the blame firmly on the home team organisers, their policing by what looked like riot police and their home fans. Not only were the home fans throwing missiles into the visitors "pen" causing most of them to move away with disastrous results the riot police themselves went into that pen and used their batons on anyone who had the misfortune to be in arms length. What absolutely surprised me was the police didn't appear bothered by the fact that a home fan was waving a pistol about!!
