BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor has been catching up with Aston Villa fans in Istanbul before Thursday's Europa League fixture against Fenerbahce. Villa fan James explained he thinks some "excessive" rules have been put in place with regard to how supporters can attend the game, with mandatory bus transport taking place by 15:00 locally, when the fixture will not kick-off until 20:45 in Istanbul. In theory, fans will be in the ground hours before Villa's players warm up, let alone kick off.
