The England Supporters Travel Club has called for witnesses to come forward after an investigation was launched into the treatment of away fans before Thursday night’s Nations League match in Greece. Some England supporters faced heavy-handed policing and tear gas on their way to the Olympic Stadium Athens, and on Friday morning the The Football Association and Football Supporters’ Association confirmed they would be launching a probe into the complaints. England, who won the match 3-0, were backed by 3,500 travelling supporters in Thursday’s key Group B2 encounter. A statement from the ESTC, linking to an online form, read: “We are aware that some England supporters experienced difficulties when entering the Athens Olympic Stadium last night. “The safety of ESTC members attending any match is a priority for us and we are disappointed in the incidents from last night.
