FA fearing fan aggro

- BY JOHN CROSS

ENGLAND supporters have been branded among the worst in the world.

The FA’s security staff and reports have flagged up England as having one of the biggest problems with their own fans.

FA chiefs privately accept there is a major issue with those who follow the country, and trouble at the friendly in Germany in March was the latest embarrassi­ng episode.

The FA are stepping up security ahead of Saturday’s match in Glasgow with specially trained stewards and extra policing for the 4,761 away fans. There are concerns about the 5pm kick-off time set by UEFA which also suits broadcaste­rs.
