Scandalous after all our hardcore support have sorted out travel arrangements

you can still watch it in a bar in Warsaw.
Anyone booking flights etc in advance surely takes on board the risk

They could have announced this earlier though to give supporters a decision to make. I've booked up but If I had this news a week ago I might not have.

[DeKuip]

I’d be amazed if this news to Villa.

This won't be behind closed doors for first offences. Precedent is suspended for a couple of years. We wouldn't be going out Monday if it was a behind closed doors game.

I’m sure they had a warning a few seasons back against Leicester.

[Lastfootstamper]

Blimey, they've had crowd & ticket bans aplenty. The club itself got banned from European competition for two years back in the late noughties.

That’s the one. A crowd ban would be a bit harsh on our fans but I wouldn’t rule it out.

Fuck, fuck and double fuck🤦🏾

They’ve got a rap sheet, as long as your arm. They played Real Madrid behind closed doors a few seasons back and the statement they put out then was more or less word for word as the current one. Word over there amongst some of their fans is it’ll be behind closed doors. Best we can hope for is a closure of the home end for our game.

If they let us in but not their own fans it could really kick off either in the town or outside the ground. I'll be absolutely gutted if we aren't allowed in

When I say the home end, I just mean the stand behind the goal, where all their problems come from. They’ll sell the other three stands, including the seats they normally keep empty next to the away section. This could mean they’ll close off a no man’s land inside the away section, instead, cutting our allocation.

How many seats do you think that could give us?

[lennythekad]

Hard to say exactly, but it wouldn’t be less than about 1200, I’d have thought, as that away section holds about 1730. This is all supposition on my part, of course. Obviously, a fine for them is our best scenario and we get the full allocation.
