Elliot P-something? He used to post on here if so. If it’s the one I am thinking of I mean.

Just googled to see if I can find it, the guy's name is Eliot Pollak.  Here's what I think is a transcript of what he said in the Talksport interview, though it might be taken from an interview elsewhere:

https://www.newsx.com/sports/maccabi-ban-no-surprise-but-very-depressing-says-chair-of-villas-jewish-fan-group-2-94086/

He's a member on here although he hasn't posted for some years. He was quite pro-IDF then.

Most groups are regional, but then you have LGBTQ and Punjabi, and apparently Jewish, and no doubt others that won't be regional.

I was thinking more in the context of Punjabi Villains etc, where a minority group gets together, in the city or otherwise. Obviously it’s a Good Thing these groups exist.

If they come, perhaps there could be a ticketing mishap and they'll find their seats occupied.
This made me laugh :)

Well, I was not aware there’s a Jewish Villa supporters group, I just didn’t think we had that many Jewish people in the city which would warrant one. All to the good.

It's not necessary for a Supporter's Group to be in the City - if you live in the City, I'm not sure you would need to be in one.  They're usually for more remote fans who don't have a lot of Villa fans close by to shoot the shit with.

Yep and I’d wager more than half of Villa supporters come from outside the city and always have!

Hm. Villa chose to ban Israeli fans; most Villa fans come from outside of Brum.

Starting to see a pattern here.

I disagree. I believe we ought to continue to travel until we reach its conclusion.
