Legia Warsaw fined €100k and BANNED from selling tickets to its away supporters for five UEFA matches after fan trouble in Birmingham.

Legia also ordered to contact Aston Villa to pay for damages caused by fans.

We should send them the bill for the new North Stand...

Somebody should send them the bill from WMP.

Metal fences were damaged - apparently metal bars from the fences were thrown at the police and horses resulting in injuries. A light column was also damaged. I think, given Legia fans violence in the AZ Alkmaar away fixture, that UEFA have been weak - Legia should've been thrown out of Europe. Can you imagine what UEFA would've done if it was our fans causing the same trouble in Warsaw?

Last picture shows the some of the damage Villa would have to pay to repair/ replace.

After the Battle Of the Cruet the burger van was hooked up and towed away, so they lost out on post match revenue.

Weak punishment in my opinion but no surprise.
Have Legia taken any responsibility for this yet or criticised the people involved? At the time they appeared to blame everyone else and I’ve not seen anything yet to say they’ve changed their mind. Let’s face it, this is the 4th time over the last few years they’ve been involved in similar incidents.

They sneaked into the Holte End and erected something called the Terrace View.

Which makes the hand wringing about WMP and Villa on here when the incident happened even more strange

I haven't spoken to one Legia fan either in person or online who has taken responsibility or accountability for any of the actions of either their club, or their fans.

It is entirely Villas fault apparently for antagonising them with the ticket allocation reduction because they are an "emotional fanbase"...

Throwing them out of Europe for one season would have been too good for them.

The punishment they were given, while it vindicates Villa for everything we did before & on the night, does nothing to deter them from acting like animals, as the whole point of them kicking off both at Villa Park & at Alkmaar, was due to them not having enough tickets in their eyes...
