Club statement on the club website now too. Legia's officials seemed to know that fans without tickets were going to travel and failed to instruct their fans not to do so. Twice they have done this. Kick them out of the competition.
Maybe because i'm old I still distrust football police, especially SYP and WMP. Either way I still think it could have been dealt with a lot better.
Considering there was only 2,000 fans from Poland, would it have been an error to let them in and stick the non-ticketed fans in the Upper Witton Lane where they could have been controlled more closely? At least after the game you can control them all. I guess time will tell.

Traveling without a ticket and then marching towards the ground in a big chanting mob isn't a crime.

So with WMP completely messing up tonight, I wonder what will happen next. We'll get a portion of the blame as it's our match. While Legia fans have a nasty element keeping them kettled on Witton Lane for hours and refusing them entry is piss poor. And tbh i'm not surprised they've reacted to that. I wonder if we'll get any punishment, both for this or future games as it seems WMP, us, and the city are incapable of coping.
