So it all sounds rather like Villa and the WMP have done absolutely the right thing.

And yes, I do blame WMP. Same as I blame the Spanish police for what we endured in Madrid back in the day. I also have said many times that Legia have an element that are absolute twats.

However i'm really not sure that the best course of policing to try and diffuse any potential issues is kettle them for hours in a car park on a freezing cold night and then not let them go to the ground, and then ban them completely from entering the ground.

Why are you so bothered?

Which is how UEFA are likely to look at it. Again, we're the host club that has been unable to have away fans in for a match.

The club statement sounds like we did all we could to guarantee their fans could come. They didn't engage with us on it. I'm not sure how we can come in for any criticism for that.

Is there a reason I shouldn't be bothered about how WMP police our matches?

Almost definitely a financial punishment,  its what UEFA do .
Punish the British club regardless.

If you think that's in depth then it explains a lot.

Statement has just been released.  Lots of naughtiness outside the Witton Stand, avoid the area, three officers injured.

They were refusing to go in anyway, due to not getting a full allocation.
