No real surprise after the Euros and all the fighting between Russian and English fans.

Whomever goes, be sensible, take care and don't advertise yourselves as being English let alone Spurs fans.
Hope all who make the trip return safe and sound.

Its very sad, its a football match for goodness sake!

 

[longtimespur]

Like being back in the 70/80's with all the violence inside as well as organised fighting outside stadia in those days

Try wearing Arsenal shirts.
At least you will get beaten up in a good cause.

Why are they allowed in the Competition
if their fans are likely to beat up the opposition.

Let Wanyama loose on them

I just can't believe that Russian sides are even allowed to compete in The Champs League after that state supported violence in the Euros. People could die out there and the Russians would probably just laugh it off again and use it as some political victory of some sort.

Seriously though, our fans will be attacked for being associated to a Jewish club as well as being English FFS. Just like in Italy by the far right 'fans' there.

This is absolutely true
I had a short period of working there - different. ..
I wouldn't go and hope all our fans come home safely - not to mention the team

Yeah, don't even speak!!!

Anyone who goes, after the Euros and Russian hoolie's comments, are seriously taking a huge risk or seriously need to know how to fight, and I mean proper fighting, not windmilling and flailing feet, but knowing how to put someone out the game permanently and quickly, otherwise don't go, you will get hurt!! The Russians won't just be turning up for a tear up, they will hunting Spurs fans and our lot won't be getting any protection or help from the police or authorities, remember, this is the first meeting between English and Russian fans since the Euros and they will want to make a statement!!!

just hope the club are doing as much as possible to work with CSK in taming any hostility down.

Well done FIFA for letting them host the world cup, good to see you rewarding them for their behaviour.

 

[olliec]

Yet it's ok for them to wear their colours to Wembley? Something really isn't right here and FIFA need to do something about this. Either that or we beat the shit out of every Russian who wears colours at Wembley.

Yeah, don't even speak!!!

Then the Russki police will lift you for dumb insolence. I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

They are not - they are simply selling tickets to be collected there - no club arranged hotel nor transport to /from ground /airport - appalling!!! Still going with three friends,

Whoever is going - please wear cheap jeans and don't shave - otherwise they'll spot you anyway

No tracksuit ?

 

[n17_black]

That's right, they said try. It to wear anything with the spurs logo

I see that as pointless, when we turn up the Russians will know what bars we are going to be at anyway

This is revenge for them for the Euro, only problem we in there back yard now

If English fans acted like this ONCE we'd be out for 5 years.
