Which scumbag...

There were a fair few in block 521, my partner was in 510 and I swapped with her at half time, atmosphere was way better in 510. Apparently it kicked off in 521 in the second half so I'm glad I wasn't there to witness it.

 

I don't understand.

How do you know he was called Sol?

Do you know him or something?

 

I really enjoyed the walk down Brick Lane yesterday and seeing the name of North London's premier team on the back of the 2014 cup winning shirts some of your supporters were wearing.

 

There where over 22,000 seats available to neutrals mostly from the fa family. They had many of the cheapest tickets. The individuals from hull who sold their tickets are scum. In front of me there were 10 empty seats!!!!!!

 

There was something hoping on in 518, but between fellow City supporters. Anyone know what that was over?

You sent your woman into the area were the trouble was and you went into the more peaceful area ?

That's a wind up , yes ?

 

It did kick off in 521. It wasn't helped by weak stewards who failed to eject Arsenal supporters when it all started.

It festered for about 5 minutes before one of them got lumped. He was eventually lead from the seats with a bloody face.

It was never going to settle down while they remained in the seats.

Question is who did they buy the tickets from?

 

We were in block 106. Arse fan behind us and a father and (I guess 8 year old) son sitting to our left. Just before 1/2 time a security woman turned up and made the bloke behind us put a jacket on to hide his colours. She removed the father and son whilst the little lad cried heartbroken. We offered the dad a jacket, and the lad a t-shirt but they didn't stay. Real shame I thought, they were doing no harm. After Ramsey scored their third, two lads down to our right removed their city colours and started celebrating.

 

They were doing harm though, they were depriving city supporters of tickets. As for the other two I hope someone violently made them re-evaluate that decision.

 

Anyone know anything of a knife incident in the Torch after the game ?

 

Honestly you could be right about the dad and lad, but there were empty seats near us, and I hope someone shows my lad some compassion if he's ever that upset. The other bunch got no end of ****, but I was too busy cheering on the lads to see if they got twatted.

Never been more proud to be city born and bred.

 

I bumped into some of them at Covent Garden at the start of the game and they seemed ok, a minute chat etc, score predictions. They said they had Hull end tickets, they played in a Sunday league team and won the tickets through the FA, you probably noticed them all scattered in that area.

 

That doesn't add up to me.

Why would the FA give tickets to "neutral" fans in the Hull end for the stewards then to kick them out? I get the impression some of their fans claim to get them from the FA so nobody thinks twice about the touts.

 

The big problem here is we do not have owner/board who are concerned about these fan issues. Surely they should be making representations to the FA. We have suffered the same problems all season at the KC and their silence is deafening. At some point something big will kick off and I can see our fans getting the blame.

I am sure in the days of AP something more would have been done.

Our current set up are happy if they have sold a ticket. Who cares if the City fans are getting poorly treated - let them eat pizza.

 

Probably means Campbell, as in Sol Campbell, just a hunch.

 

I know that if it came to a chance to watch the game in the wrong end and watching in a pub, I would choose the pub. A major part of supporting is to be a part of the crowd, sharing in the glory or the misery. Being there but isolated in celebration, must make for a lonely time.

 

Agree 100% with this Mel.

 

I’ve done it a few times and you’re right – it’s pretty horrible.

I don’t wear colours anyway, but if I did, I’d never dream of wearing them amongst the opposition’s end, not just out of self preservation but out of respect.

I’ve never celebrated a goal either in such a situation, just kept it inside.

In a nutshell, it’s totally naïve as a football fan and disrespectful, on a human level, to wear your colours in the opposition’s end; it’s also quite selfish for many reasons.

I can only assume people who do this have other social deficiencies/inadequacies also but people who do this should be not only thrown out, but should be charged with incitement.

 

Very well put,Mel

 

My Mac nurse took me to see city v Burnley .

We sat in E3

He is a life long Burnley supporter.

Course he did not wear Burnley colours or celebrate when Burnley scored 4 times.

Anyone wearing away team colours in a home stand should be thrown out imo
