Stewards at Bulgaria's match against EnglandBulgarian stewards enforcing the behaviour of home supporters in the first half of the European Qualifier against England took off their hi-vis vests, stopped working, and joined the crowd in the second half to watch the game. It comes amid fresh allegations that the racist abuse of England's players on Monday night was co-ordinated and pre-planned. Sky Sports News has learned it is common practice in Bulgarian club matches for the stewarding of fans to be carried out by the club's 'ultras'. The English FA has been charged by UEFA for an apparent lack of steward numbers to scrutinise and control the 3,500 England fans inside the stadium on Monday night. Sky Sports News has contacted the Bulgarian Football Union for confirmation as to whether any of Levski Sofia's 'ultras' were involved in the stewarding of the game against England.
