"@slbsn @TLG861 Guess this is what they are trying to avoid. I really am uneasy about it. But I dont think its anything more sinister than to try & keep people safe.

"@pearsontombo @willvillalawson Yes. It happens A LOT. But also they should have known how it would be taken. I just find it sad that people cant just say its a difficult situation to resolve. Their job is to keep people safe. Everything is weaponised"

"@Milton_Kingsley @Russell_Ayles @DRichardcornish Its not a football match anymore. Its a political event. Ive obviously spent a lot of time at Villa Park that area must be super difficult to police on normal match days. But obviously no one thinks about that. There must be OUTRAGE"

"@Milton_Kingsley @Russell_Ayles @DRichardcornish Go play it in Switzerland with no fans. Not Villas fault in any way shape or form. But whatever they do now can you see everyone being happy"

"One thing is for sure a large number of politicians are making this worse rather than behaving responsibly and trying to find a solution. All about scoring points for them"
