Wasn't there someone killed before one of the qualifiers this season. Dinamo Zagreb were the away team, I think.

Are you referring to the aek athens fan that was stabbed to death when hooded zagreb fans went to the stadium with bats and knives?

Was there more than one fan killed before a qualifier against Zagreb this season?

Still haven’t quite got my head around the fact we’ll be playing in a European semifinal for just the second time in our history and first for 41 long year's. And if you’d have told me 18 months ago we’d be the sole English team left in any European competition come the following May, I’d have recommended you be committed.

I love the Villa as we all do, our love for the club never falters and never will, but I haven’t loved a Villa team like this one for many years.

I didnt say they were not armed did i? The incident was hooliganism from both sides with one death a greek person not just the olympiakos side corey

Its not like villa fans are going to be coming with weapons wanting a fight is it? Villa fans will just walk away we rarely get involved in scuffles like this if goaded by home fans

According to this only 13 fans have died since 1983.

Did I read somewhere on here that the only way to the stadium is by organised coach to / from Athens ?

Easter is celebrated in Greece on the 5th May this year, right between both matches:

'Holding unparalleled significance as the biggest holy celebration for Greeks, Easter surpasses even Christmas in terms of religious importance and cultural fervour.'

If you are going to away match, book flights, accommodation asap as it is a very busy period.

Eight short years ago today David Bernstein and Mervin King were leaving the board after a fallout with Lerner.  How times have changed.

I'm not getting on a coach from here to Athens.
