DREAD ALERT
Gunners fans are warned of anti-British feeling in Moscow
ARSENAL fans are facing a Europa League nightmare after being drawn against CSKA Moscow.
Travelling supporters are being warned of potential
anti-British harassment amid the ongoing diplomatic crisis between the countries.
The club is expecting to get between 3,000 and 4,000 tickets for the quarter-final, second leg, in Moscow on April 12, and there are already fears fans will be afraid to go.
The Foreign Office have already issued travel advice to supporters, but the club is not running official trips and several regular tour operators have decided not to offer packages.
UEFA last night issued a statement insisting the two-legged tie would not be moved and would go ahead as planned because they would not interfere with politics.
“We are committed to remain politically neutral and will not get involved in governmental affairs,” said a UEFA spokesman.
