Violence flared outside the Irwell Inn, Burnley Road, Bacup, at about 2.40pm on Saturday just before Bacup Borough's game against FC United of Manchester.
The road was closed for a short while as police restored order.
Four men, all FC United supporters, were arrested for public order offences, police said.
They were later given £80 fixed penalty notices.
