Poor Bitters

[SouthAfricaRed]

About 1,500 Everton supporters face being turned away from Thursday's Uefa Cup game in Nuremberg because of fears over crowd trouble.
Uefa classified the match as high-risk after it emerged that the German club had sold a number of tickets in their home section direct to Everton fans.

"We would never recommend that supporters get tickets through the host club," said Everton spokesman Ian Ross.

"Those who bought them are being told now they can't use them."

European football's governing body has advised that the tickets be withdrawn because of fears over the potential for hooliganism.

Everton were allocated fewer than 3,000 tickets for the Franken-Stadion ground, which holds 47,000.

Give your reaction to UEFA's intervention

A large police presence is expected in the southern German city, and Nuremberg were forced to cancel the tickets to ensure Everton's fans are segregated in the stadium.

Everton said they received requests for five times the number of tickets they were allocated.

"However, we will never endorse our supporters buying tickets from the opposing team," said Ross.

"There are regulations in place for a reason and tickets bought from Nuremberg will not be valid on Thursday."

Merseyside Police have urged fans without a ticket to avoid turning up to the ground and watch the match at local venues in Nuremberg instead.

I read about this. Kenwank was on SSN over the phone and he said 'the best club in the world' were denied to have the 'best supporters in the world' watch them 'play' football. What a load of horse manure

It's a pity. No-one really wants to see ordinary football fans lose money even if they do have poor judgment when it comes to choosing a team.

Kenwright is a tedious prat of course.

I agree with you totally Neil, and don't want to see oridnary football supporters mucked about by officialdom. The poor sods don't get many opportunities to travel, I feel sorry for them.

Well said TinkerB & Neil.

These are just ordinary footy fans wanting to support their team and have been shafted. I hope it all works out for them and they get in - but then they get stuffed by a rampant Nuremburg.
