Honestly, the last time I remember trouble with our fans and the scousers was the last season at Maine Road and it was our fans who were looking for it. No whoosh involved here.

Cheers pal, I've emailed supporter services, I'll see what they come up with.
Thanks for responding to my post.

Actually mate, I’ve just seen someone ask the same question on Twitter and they confirmed people with bookings will be contacted by email nearer the time.

I don’t think I’d describe City fans as civilised. The way people bang on about Liverpool fans… we have more arrests than they do every single year.

City United Birmingham Leeds and Cardiff are often the Top5 or are definitely in the Top10 when it comes to fan arrests every season.

I always think Liverpool’s away support at the Etihad seems like a soft group of shirt wearing mixed age fans. I think we have more nutters than they do.

Everytime we play at Wembley we get a huge thread on here moaning about the uncivilized behaviour of our fans for good measure too.

Thanks once again pal.
It's good to have someone helping answer my question, particularly as I don't do Twitter.

No problem mate. I get bored at work and often spend half an hour amusing myself reading some of the stupid questions people are asking on the City Twitter page.

Not that yours was a stupid question I hasten to add.
 
Probably been asked so apologies but any parking options? I'm driving there and back on the day rather than bus/coach/train so any tips would be mega please!
 
would be good to see the official seat counters take on extra responsibility and establish how many parking spaces are empty in Leicester and every other away ground, maybe liase with NCP, and justpark and keep us all updated, also travel with regard to trains, how full are trains going to be too and from matches, including the tube for London games would be good (estimates would be accepted for the underground), in fact anywhere where there is an empty seat or space, we need to own it.

I wouldn't go off police figures of arrests as a yard stick who has the worst fans just look at how many Liverpool fans were arrested when the City bus was attacked. Also seen plenty of trouble started by Liverpool fans at Wembley against us.

Saying that we have plenty of idiots following City and have probably seen more City fans attacked by fellow so called City fans than by any other club supporters.

This is where I have an issue. I've done the Wembley visits and never seen City fans looking for trouble. I have experienced rags, scouse and a lone villa knobhead causing trouble, (directly at me) The rags were by far the worst but the dipper shite weren't far behind. I know what others, @Didsbury Dave for one say and I respect their opinions, but it seems I go on a different day to everyone else.

I was in a pub pre Wembley League cup on Euston Road and it was 50/50 with no trouble at all. It was all very civilised. The 1981 league cup semi final was a different matter!

It's probably the fact that you walk around Wembley with a placard saying
"I HATE RAG AND SCOUSE CUNTS" that upsets other fans.
It's like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 3 walking around Harlem with a similar sandwich board full of racist insults.

Situations like the scenario you mention are unfortunate but I kind of agree with it in a way. Liverpool do this for all cup competitions as far as I know. There's a legitimate argument that a season ticket holder who hasn't attended any FA Cup games shouldn't get priority for an FA Cup Final ticket over a non-season ticket holder who has attended some or all FA Cup games. Thousands of City fans who aren't season ticket holders attend home FA Cup games, whereas thousands of season ticket holders don't, yet if we get to the final it's the latter who gets priority over the former even though the former has supported the club in that competition and the latter hasn't.

I would kind of agree with it in theory. And for Liverpool with their small local fan base (6000 L Postcode season tickets) and hordes of plastic fans from UK/Scandinavia, they probably aren't arsed if it affects local fans, they have huge volumes of plastics to pick up any slack.

In our case though, we just dont have that. I know I've looked to go to games and want to go and sit with pals but its that awkward to get tickets at the same time dependant on points/cup scheme's etc that we've not bothered at times. Some games haven't sold out but at that point, people cant go as they havent sorted time off work/need to look after kids/and for the European trips the flights are astronomical.

Guess there's plusses and minuses for it, but cant help but feel it puts people off going and thats a shame.

To be fair on the round about in 2011 the 3 rag coaches that arrived all the way from Trafford got it big time. Plus a rag in a shirt and a convertible BMW, which was 6 inches deep in Beer after the dickhead got stuck in traffic surrounded by thousands of blues....
