There are many great black players in the game , you'd would think that would bring more non white fans into the grounds ,.

Perhaps we have to accept that in the UK it is a white male fan event , sadly non white fans dont feel comfortable with the culture and probably feel more at ease at home , or cant afford to go ?.
When our upper class forefathers decided they'd like to build an Empire, the sport they introduced was public school cricket, not that soccerball played by those working class Northern folk. When the time came for people to migrate to our green and pleasant land, all they knew was cricket. All their role models and sporting heroes were cricketers, not footballers. There's very few successful footballers of South Asian decent, so today's Asian kids also have no footballing role models. Maybe that's why their underrepresented in the stands?
