A total of 41 percent of those surveyed agreed with the decision, 30 percent said it was not right, and 29 had no opinion on the matter, according to a poll carried out by TNS Polska for Polish Radio.
UEFA has ordered Poland’s Legia Warszawa to hold a Champions League game with Real Madrid on 2 November behind closed doors after trouble at Legia’s first game in the Champions League in 20 years, when it was thrashed 0:6 on home turf by Borussia Dortmund.
UEFA has levelled six accusations against the Warsaw club: trouble in the stands, flares being set off, objects thrown onto the field, insufficient organisation, racist behaviour and close emergency exits.
Legia has strongly denied the charge that fans chanted racist slogans.
