Imagine the cost of all this on Thursday, all the extra policing, hotel costs, transportation from London and surrounding areas . My only hope is that the final bill, doesn't land at Villas doorstep . Surely the people who have caused all this chaos, UEFA, FA, and politicians should take their share of the blame .

Iv actually seen a lot of stupid people blaming Villa, how they came to that conclusion only they know . As myself and other have already stated, using this game for political points scoring, is the last thing fans want . Politics should stay out of sport completely.UTV

The people who are organising the protests should have to pay towards the cost of policing it, if they actually want to peacefully protest then surely it would be in their best interests to be policed or controlled safely.

But as you say, politics should be nowhere near any sporting event and the organisers should stop putting videos of themselves on social media wearing Villa shirts and standing outside VP as if trying to connect themselves with the football club

I was really saddened to read your post below Dave about not feeling safe to attend the game and whilst I wish I could offer you the reassurance to simply take the risk, but I can't. nobody can =[

Personally and maybe this isn't the place to type it - this is a much bigger issue than the team we are playing.

Although it's not fair to place this into just Villas hands, the solution to this is a worldwide boycott of Israel. They shouldn't be anywhere near a sporting competition, let alone a world stage.
Regardless of one set of supporters behaviour, they're literally committing a genocide.

Cantona said all of this perfectly a while ago.
We forever bicker over or discuss the symptoms whilst the disease grows around us.

Firstly, the reason it has all come to this for us is because of the ref in the Utd game, not just hitting us financially now is it? Secondly, why should Israel be banned from competing in anything? There’s a world outside of what the BBC, ITV etc will tell you, i suggest you go and find out about it

I haven't watched a TV for about 15 years. Please don't patronise me with projection whilst you ignore oppression.
You can watch the genocide in real time? Not sure how you could possibly deny and defend it tbh.
