Crembo...Roy...Israelis...

Hard to say, It's the 1st time a club from Israel is in the champions league, I can't tell how the crowd will respond to that, i estimate around 10-15 thousands
 
Hmmm, with 15 000 Israelis attending a packed stadium it will be like heaven for terrorists. It's bloody clear that the borders haven't stopped terrorists before so wonder how big of a difference it will make that they move it to cyprus or wherever. Good thing perhaps is that Bin Laden likes english football.

It is well known that terrorists can't swim...
 
Isn't it the 5th game in the group?
By then Haifa should be without a realistic chance of going through, so I can't see 10000 Haifa supporters making the trip...

like the song suggests, they'll only come to see United.
 
Don't know about the mancs, but If Olympiacus are in with a chance and still in interested in our result with Haifa, the locals might provide Haifa with some support...(Panathanaikos fans will be on our side this season).

At last, some support from Europe...
;)

No way - Hapoel Tel-Aviv went to the Semi's of the UEFA cup last March - it was Huge in Tel Aviv (I was there at the time) - but when the game was switched to Cyprus noone went - I would think the Israeli's will be keener on going to the leg at OT - much more of a speacial ocaision. It's a shame for the UTD fan's too - Haifa is a great town and Tel Aviv is a lot of fun. Then again so is keeping your head attached to your body.

Don't understand why this is funny. It seems pretty ignorant to me.
