Hopefully we get out of Marseille and it all stops. Not looking forward to travelling out next week as much as I should, but sure St Etienne will be very different. Just hope if we progress we avoid Marseille in the later rounds.

One 'fighting for his life' apparently according to Sky News. Some video footage of russians stamping on the heads of unconscious fans - shocking stuff. Getting very serious now. Surely if somebody loses their life game will have to be abandoned. No segregation in the ground, not good. What...

Much more going on out there than the media would have you believe, seems to be a huge amount of provocation. Some pretty horrible stories coming out. This video seems typical. Hopefully all this will stop once we leave that hellhole Marseille.

I can't believe some people are so dismissive of BPA and would almost rather it be out of town. BPA is viable in that you CAN build it up to 25,000, and they'd still be room for a separate student accommodation building and on site parking for several hundred cars. The site appears deceptively...

Seems odd that England fans have traveled around the world for almost 20 years largely without incident, yet the moment they step back in Marseille there is trouble. Somewhat predictably though there is very little talk of role the locals, Russians and the police are playing. Clearly some...

Never been a fan of positive discrimination. All seems a bit patronising. Plenty of black managers breaking through now, and that'll only encourage more to enter coaching. Would like to think this would mean things change without the need for this sort of intervention.

The 92% figure is not true. This article states 68% in reference to the same game - a game when there was a huge novelty factor and inevitably a large turn out of local curtain-twitchers...

At least some people are trying to have a go back on the CT. Like the one below - cue red thumbs all over the shop: I see the unofficial (or is it official) band of Wasps sycophants are out in force again - funny how the only place you ever encounter them is on here. Not met one in the real...

No, it was CV & B post codes - an area of over 2.5 million people. And that was only one particular game. When they get their bog standard league gate of 9K-14K I imagine there are a fair chunk from London. Judging by the yellow and black shirts piling off the train from Euston there must be.

Somebody I spoke to earlier said we went through the 5K mark this morning. About on schedule for 6K by August at a guess. Sales will slow notably now but usually pick up again as season approaches.

Actullay think Villa have done it once or twice too.

It's like an episode of Scooby Do on here - people inventing mysteries when there are none. How can they commit to BPA when feasibility studies are still on-going? They have already said this was leaked to the media way before they wanted it to. All they have said since is that there is...

That's mostly rubbish I'm afraid and I'm not really sure what your point is. The 3 most effective and visible protests to have taken place were the two marches and the Arsenal protest. How much anti-council sentiment was displayed then? None. Were you complaining about that then? I doubt...

It is a possibility. You have a startling lack of imagination. You do realise it already has planning permission for 13,000 don't you? You do you know the FL have approved it and are open to the idea of rack seating or safe standing? You do know that architects have already confirmed that a...

There was a deal. September 2012. A price was agreed between Higgs and SISU. Why Higgs pulled out at the last minute nobody knows for sure.

It is frustrating. There are so many people I know who care about the club - but not quite enough to actually support them in person regularly. The first thing I talk about on Monday morning at work is the football club - I'll spend the first half hour talking about the city. Pretty much...

Correct, my wife works with her.

It's a horrible place full of knuckle-draggers. This is pretty standard for a comments sections on a news site - but some of the stuff on their is very questionable. It is so damaging also because it gives a very warped impression. I tried posting there many times - but you are fighting a...

I wonder if he has the same hostility to all those local rugby fans who were so desperate to watch the game they follow that they turned out in their thousands when London Wasps showed up, having completely ignored their own local rugby for decades.

They wouldn't be going to 'protest'; they would be going to watch the game, cheer on the local rugby club and show some solidarity. Where have you been? Both clubs have been working closely with each other recently. We use some of the facilities. There have been joint ticket offers, the clubs...
