Worried Premier League bosses will meet with the Football Association, the English Football League AND the police as crowd trouble continues to spread throughout the divisions.
Talks on how best to tackle the growing problem are scheduled over the next couple of days after a series of incidents marred games last weekend.
And the Premier League, in particular, is concerned at the rising number of disorder cases and will have urgent discussions with the UK Football Policing Unit, whose head, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, said earlier this week that the situation was “really worrying” and that the English game has “a problem that needs a team effort from everyone to get people who don’t behave kicked out of football.”
