Sky Sports News' State of the Game investigation continues as we look at touchline trouble. Join the debate here.
Week Two looks at touchline trouble that plagues the game.
Sky Sports News continue their State of the Game investigation on Monday following on from
Week One which looked at dilapidated grassroots facilities across the country.
Week Two looks at the problems caused by bad behaviour on the touchlines.
More youngsters give up playing football in England than any other country in Europe and one of the major causes for this high drop-out rate is down to pressure and abuse from the touchlines.
Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe says more must be done to ensure parents understand not to put too much pressure on their kids.
He said: "Parents have got to understand that at a very young age - and I go to watch my grandson play who's eight - that they shouldn't be subjected to the sort of pressure that they are.
"Again, we've got to try and work with the FA and the leagues to make sure they understand that."
Week Two will focus on games being abandoned due to touchline trouble. This season 38 youth clubs in Birmingham have been reported for touchline disturbances; 14 games have been abandoned so far in Lancashire and 14 in Manchester.
Referees are also victims of over-zealous and aggressive supporters and we will be talking to some who have been forced to give up the game in fear.
