Ian Wright says he's apprehensive about going to the World Cup in Russia this summer.
Is he right to be apprehensive, are any Town fans going...do you feel the same way...is it dangerous to go while relations between the Tory Govt and Putin are at such a low ebb. ?

Not a great place to go if you’re black, brown or gay.

Putin just hates western politicians. People will be safe as houses until the Russian Thugs kick off and fans get no protection from the Russian authorities.

This is Putin's showcase to the world. Everyone will be safe as houses. Apart from from factions who Putin has limited control over. I.e. The hooligans. But he has threatened huge jail terms so I'm sure it will be as safe as most world cups

Even before the recent Russia relations issues I wouldn't have wanted to go to this one. When you have top Russian politicians more or less saying 'well done lads' after the events in Marseille in 2016 then it doesn't bode well. I'm usually of the opinion that you can stay away from trouble but I fear trouble will be hunting the English, even the ones who are not looking for it.

Yes I would, danger and stuff has never bothered me in life, if I want to do things, I just do it, been in the forces and been to war zones, not saying I am hard, or a fool in that matter, I just live life and what will be will be.

Spend all the £££££'s you'll save on air travel, accommodation and hospital bills and buy a 60" 4K TV instead. Far safer

I think it's the Russian hooligan gangs that are the danger, not the Govt officials or police. We've seen these gangs in action already in France..they are a wild,mad bunch and in their own backyard pose a real threat. personally I'll be on holiday in France and will watch it on the TV, but wouldn't have gone to Russia anyway. I spent a week in Moscow a few years back and it was fine,folk are friendly as they are in most places around the world, it's just the nutters they have who'd think nothing of stabbing a few English fans, especially if they are the group of English fans we often see on the TV , boozing, chanting and bigging it up...and being otherwise obnoxious .

I can't imagine the Russian police being too helpful, if you get attacked it will be your fault and you will be an English hooligan just looking for trouble, don't take the risk.

Why risk it? Chances are if you are unlucky enough to be caught up in bother the ruski police will nick you and you will face lengthy jail time by just being an innocent by stander.
