Fans group sounds warning as Premiership crowds fall

THE Football Supporters Federation have warned the elite game in England could implode unless more attention is paid to the fans.

The new Premiership season has thrown up interesting results on the pitch, and worrying statistics off it.

Monday’s Middlesbrough v Portsmouth game attracted only 24,834 fans to the Riverside while just 19,398 saw champions Chelsea take on Blackburn at Ewood Park.
