Tips for football fans headed to Moscow

Football fans making the trip to Moscow for the Champions League final have been issued a number of tips to make sure their journey runs smoothly.

People headed abroad for the all-England final between Manchester United and Chelsea have been told by M&S Money to place an order for their Russian currency as soon as possible - as it is not always available.

In addition, the company added that withdrawing from an ATM machine in the country could also result in large fees.

Fraser Millar, head of M&S Travel Money, commented that the firm is expecting big demand for rubles.

He added: "If fans have trouble getting Russian currency we recommend they take US dollars or euros which they can change in at banks or exchange offices in Moscow."

Yesterday, police in Moscow warned that it will not tolerate the same behaviour at the game from British football fans as was seen in Manchester for this week's Uefa Cup final between Rangers and Zenit.
