I'm not sure there are enough examples in the UK to decide what is or isn't normative. UEFA did stop CSKA Moskva fans from attending the Etihad in 2014. And Aston Villa denied entry to Legia Warsaw fans in 2023. So about a 50/50 split between clubs and UEFA
Ajax fans banned from attending Stamford Bridge for Champions League match, November 2019. Galatasaray fans banned from Elland Road, UEFA Cup semi-final second leg, April 2000

What's your obsession with dictatorships? Why can we only oppose what we believe to be unjust laws in a dictatorship? Were the Suffragettes wrong? Anyone procuring an abortion prior to 1967? Union members? You enjoy rights in this country gained through protest against laws. Don't be so absolutist.
