Aston Villa fans have told ITV News Central that they don't want to "get involved with any of the politics" around their game tonight against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Villa Parkwill tonight host the Europa League clash against the Israeli side - but no away fans have been allowed to buy any tickets.
The game hit the international headlines after local authorities said that Maccabi fans would be blocked from attending the game,with West Midlands Police classifying the fixture as high-risk based on “current intelligence and previous incidents”.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Muslim Association of Britain, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Kashmir solidarity campaign and Palestinian Forum in Britain have called for the match to be cancelled.
"We've worked hard to get into Europe"
Hilary Hargrave says: "Normally I would go to the ground, via Birmingham and meet some friends first. But we're not doing that now.
"My son's going to pick me up quite early so we can get there early. And I'm cheesed off about that because we shouldn't have to do that.
"I don't feel particularly safe. You know, if we see any signs of trouble, we'll probably head away and then, you know, there's going to be empty seats.
"It's not how it should be. It should be a celebration. We've worked hard to get into Europe. It shouldn't be like this."
"I would go no matter what"
Paul Wilson is a Villa fan and runs a forum called 'Aston Villa Fans FFZ'. He says:"I would go no matter what. I don't have a pro-Israeli hat. I don't have a pro-Palestine head.
"I just want to go and watch my team play football. And I don't think any Aston Villa fan wants to get involved with any of the politics that's to do with this.
"It's football. It's Aston Villa and I think we're all caught, including the club, in a terrible situation".
"It was going to be a treat for my son"
Mark Jennings says he's now not going to the game, as he fears for his son Riley's safety. He says:
"It was going to be a treat for my son. But now because of what's happened from a political point of view, and how it's become more than a football game. I think it's in my interest to keep my son safe, which is my priority as a parent and to not go.
"We'll just we'll get a takeaway and watch it on the telly."
