I just hope all the live streamers have bought a ticket for the game, it'll be a full house.

Police seem to have done a very good job so far.

Not sure why they've let the demonstration set up as close to the ground as it has.

Had a walk by Trinity. Not many Palestinian mob. Few cockneys walking round with cameras. That’s it. Far more Villa supporters!

They can't win though - if everything passes without a hitch, tomorrow will be "SEE! There was no reason not to let the Maccabi fans come to the match you massive bunch of antisemites!"

Yeah, but let's hope that's the situation tomorrow. I feel sorry for the H&Vers/Villa fans that have been put off attending tonight, even when they already had tickets.

The people that matter will know the police did a good job, bollocks to everyone else. Press will make a big deal of the few that waved Israel flags but will ultimately be disappointed.

So is it a cauldron of hate? Is it a tinderbox? Are there potential condiment flashpoints?

Thankfully looks pretty quiet, if the BBC News coverage is anything to go by. A paltry turnout of a few hundred protestors waving their newly-supplied flags, and a lone Socialist Worker twat with his 'From the River to the Sea" sign.

Central News were bigging it up. One girl with an Israeli flag on Trinity side collard and marched off by the police I assume to the other side of the ground.

I don't suppose the Socialist Worker opined on where the displaced Israelis were going to live once the land had been cleansed. No I thought not. Neither has he.

I feel sorry for anybody who has been scared off from doing the thing they love tonight. There is thankfully not a lot going on at all. The bonus is the traffic is dead.

Tbf he wasn't saying a lot, just looking a bit lonesome with a Newcastle keffiyeh draped over head.

All part of the far right scum that worship everything from 'Tommy'. Just watched a group of them broadcasting live via Youtube. Sad c*nts.

Oh I think we know what he'd like to do with them.

Hoping Villa fans on here, their family and friends and our supporters stay safe tonight.

I’m in the ground now. It’s very quiet outside. A few right wing nutters are having a pow wow in the basket ball court opposite the north stand / DE junction, but other than that is very underwhelming.

The most noticeable thing was a coupe of social media types with their phones on Kimble’s frantically rushing around looking for ‘them’ and whatever they were doing - ghouls basically
