With Athletico Madrid facing a two game home stadium ban the travelling Kopites face extra expense going from Madrid to wherever the game is now held. Minister of Sport, Gerry Sutcliffe wants UEFA to use the money raised by Athletico's fine to pay for the Reds fans' new travelling arrangements.
"It is great to see UEFA taking a tough stance on racism, as this is the only way we are going to kick it out of the game. But moving the match at this late stage will play havoc with Liverpool fans' travel plans and leave them out of pocket," said the minister.
"I would like to see UEFA use the fine to help Liverpool supporters get to the match."
