Blackburn Rovers charged over fans’ behaviour against Ipswich Town

An FA statement said the Lancashire club “have been charged with misconduct in relation to crowd control” at the game.
The statement added: “It’s alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters or followers) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don’t use words or otherwise behave in an improper, threatening or provocative way; and throw missiles or other potentially harmful or dangerous objects towards the pitch.”
