I’m sure he could pull rank and influence this if he really wanted too. The easy thing is always just to stay quiet, though.

Libby nailed it. A bubble would be the way forward. I’m sure the police could take them from the airport to the ground and back to the airport again, keeping them safe in the process.

Multiple flights I’d have thought, maybe into airports other than Birmingham’s plus people travelling from elsewhere including other parts of the UK. Would be trickier than a bubble for Pompey v Southampton.

They could just act on the intelligence they’ve had to come to this decision and do something about the perpetrators but it’s easier to appease until they’re emboldened for whatever they want next.

Well done Labour. This is the right course of action, for once.


Senior government officials are set to meet later today to try to reverse the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, a government minister has said this morning.

Ian Murray, a minister in the culture department, tells Sky News that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and Home Office officials will be among those meeting to see whether there is a "way through" the ban.

He separately tells BBC Breakfast: "It's the wrong decision in terms of the message that it sends out for antisemitism but it also [sends out] the wrong message to the entire country - that you would be banned from going to public events if you're of the wrong race, religion or creed."

I hope common sense prevails ... also from the fans - unfortunately there will be 'constraints' on personal freedom before and after the match for the away fans - but not a lot different than for some of our 'higher tension' domestic fixtures ...

I don't think a bubble would work here for the reasons stated by Watford tbh.

Best you could do is having a meeting point for the fans in central Birmingham and then lay on busses to the ground like happens in places like Naples while policing the protesters wherever they pop up.

Probably not central Birmingham - too many access points... but perhaps the NEC? - Great transport hub ...

Well apart from the fact that the 'British Police' haven't actually said they aren't 'capable of protecting Jewish fans' ...

... and therein lies the main problem with Twatter, mate ...
