The pitch was invaded and punches were thrown after the final whistle blew at Albion's quarter-final replay against Highworth Town.
Highworth's chairman, Rohan Haines, suffered a bloodied nose and goalkeeper Gary Stevens was apparently dealt a fat lip when scenes descended into chaos.
The club said is was devastated with the scenes at the end of yesterday's game and that it would be working closely with the Police, Highworth Town and the FA to bring those responsible to account.
A statement published on the club website read, "As a club we apologise to everyone who witnessed and were on the receiving end of totally unacceptable behaviour.
"We do however wish to thank the majority of the 1307 crowd who behaved impeccably.
"There will be a further statement released on Monday following a meeting of Club Directors and further liaison with the authorities.
"We wish Highworth Town and everyone involved with their great club continued success for the remainder of the season."
