Traffic congestion has been blamed for delays which left Villa supporters stuck inside Legia Warsaw’s stadium for up to two hours after Thursday’s Europa Conference League match, writes Matt Maher.
Villa’s 3-2 defeat was not the only cause of frustration for the 1,700 fans who travelled to the Polish capital as many were made to wait until long after the final whistle to exit the Stadion Wojska Polskiego.
“It was really poorly organised,” James Edkins, a Villa supporter from Aldridge, told the Express & Star. “We were told before the buses back to the Old Town were an option but very quickly it became clear they were compulsory. “People in hotels a 10-minute walk from the ground were told they couldn’t leave on foot. It was all very chaotic.”
