Absolutely cracking atmophere last night! Even better than the derby! COMS was rocking!
About 5 mins in, a steward came along and told a group of lads across from us to sit down, which was not well received (everyone around was stood up), the steward then turned his attention to me. Before I had a chance to protest, the elderly gent sat behind me piped up with “we didn’t beat them before by sitting down and letting them have their wayâ€, which was greeted by applause, and a round of “Stand up, if you love Cityâ€. The steward just winked at me and walked off.
From where I was I got a really good view of the Hamburg fans, who were top notch! The flares really added to the feel of a big European occasion, and their support was very vocal and well coordinated.
It was really good to see what kind of atmosphere we can produce when everyone gets behind the team! It was a shame we conceded early on, but we had a real go at them and were unlucky in the end to not, at least, force ET. All in all, pretty satisfied with the levels of effort etc from all - even Robbie was getting stuck in at times.
