However when they returned to Thorpe Wood police station in Peterborough on Wednesday, they were charged with a lesser offence.
The spokeswoman confirmed Marsh and Keer have now been charged with affray.
They are scheduled to report to the magistrates' court in Peterborough at 9.30am on the day of their hearings.
A group of Peterborough fans are also to face charges in relation to the same disturbance and will be appearing in court.
