Europa League 2025-26

What he should have said was something along the lines of..'We ideally would like as many fans as possible to see and enjoy the game but we also have to go by the advice of the police and advisory groups'.

Sadly, he'd be accused of being antisemitic or not having a backbone etc. Badnenoch is already doing what she normally does by pointing the finger left right and centre and she would have done whatever he had said.

They all had say something, but they just said the most predictable thing and made it worse.

They said it pretty much straight away, on Twitter, without having the decency to talk to the decision makers first. Basically throwing them under the bus and all but accusing them of being antisemites without bothering to do the slightest research. Very Trump, I'm afraid.

[ChicagoLion]

The problem is he has now backed himself into a corner.
They are now going to have to wedge some MTA fans to save face.

Meanwhile in Germany ...

I hope any Villa fan stupid enough to give up their seat to a banned away fan gets banned for life.

You’d ban a Jewish Villa fan giving up their seat. Righty ho.

Well it’s the ground regulations to ban anyone who buys tickets on behalf of away fans, it says this on the page when you’re buying tickets.

How do you know their religion in advance?

Thank God for the alleged kiddy fiddler Andrew.

If he was anymore than a cosplaying Arsenal fan he’d know that MTA away fans are trouble makers. It’s nothing to do with what religion they are even though that can help to legitimise that trouble. Read the room and listen to the advice of the experts. It’s so obvious.

[kippaxvilla2]

Blues Albion fans have troublemakers as well just saying like.

Where did CD say Jewish?  All I see is the words Away Fan?

[Jon Crofts]

My bad, should have had my lenses in and not an a phone!

[Somniloquism]

Also, were you defending home fans allowing away fans into the home end?

[Jon Crofts]

Calm down, I’ve said already I hadn’t read cds post properly.

[Somniloquism]

I thought you meant the Jewish line which was the one mentioned above the apology, not the whole CD post which was relating to the last lines of the one above it. (Whose quoted poster seems to be falsely representing himself to news agencies based on recent posts in the other thread)

[AV82EC]

Anyway those of us lucky enough to get a ticket are off to Deventer this week, looks like it’s going to piss down all day so bring your cagoules. Can’t wait. I can’t be arsed to scroll back through the thread but do I recall someone mentioning where the ticket collection point is?
