The combined Maccabi thread - now with are you going? poll

Fair enough mate.

Personally I wish they would all piss off with their flags. The only flags I want to see waving from the lamposts around Villa Park are Villa ones.

I’m at the stage now where I really couldn’t care less if it goes ahead or not. I have my ticket and will go, but if it all got to the stage where the public safety is put at risk and they call it off, so be it. No football match is worth the risk of serious injuries, or worse.

Wonder if WMP are hoping for some pretty atrocious weather from 5pm onwards  to dampen the ardour of protestors on either side of the argument.

Nothing like a 2 hour downpour to put people off.

Saw it on some show, the cops call the welcome dampening of spirits from bad weather as "PC Rain"...

"The best copper in the world."

Spot on. My ex brother in law joined the cops as a 19 year old and was told that on his first day of training.

Hopefully the police will stop the idiots letting off fireworks outside the stadium

Yes I wasn't suggesting that Villa cut our nose off to spite our faces and hand the twats three points for free.

Don't see why this shouldn't be considered in all honesty. If it's as important an issue as we all apparently seem to think it is, the club should boycott the game entirely and damn the points.

Yeah, no.

That's a great big fat NO. We shouldn't even be in this position in the first place. Why are we even playing against a team from the middle east in a European competition? Especially a team from a country that has just committed genocide however much some people think it was justified ?

Hopefully it’s all much ado about nothing and the build up/match will go ahead with no incidents.
If it does, I wonder how much the owners will be looking at it and thinking to move to a more ‘attractive’ location for visitors and the image of the club? Just a thought.

Our "revenue" is going to take a hit on this as well, through no fault of our own.  There will be a lower than normal crowd.  In the days when we need every penny we can get, then this is annoying.

We have now been told to work from home tomorrow and not go into the office which is at Colmore Circus, all on the advice of WMP.

I can see there being protests around the ground but in the city centre?

Sorry but it’s going to be a shit show tomorrow that we’ve been dragged into through no fault of our own
No way its going on with no incidents
