Hopefully we carry on with what we did in the KO stages last season and don’t allow the away fans to bring a drum in.

Those atmosphere on those nights without the incessant shite sounding twatting of the pig skin were much better.

Oh fucking hell I forgot about the drums. I hate these nights usually.

Just setting off.
 
Flat as a pancake first half. But a good atmosphere second half. Was an enjoyable one after the break.

Red Star fans were a laugh, and a miles better bunch than the Dynamo Zagreb fans from their neighbouring Croatia who came a few years ago (thought they’d be a right set of cunts throwing seats and bottles of piss like them but they weren’t at all).

They were singing what sounded like ‘Viva Manchester’ at one point and something about ‘Manchester City, “something-something” City’. They’d also chanted ‘Oh Red Star We Love You’ in English.

And they enjoyed 110+111 joining in with that ‘oooh…aaah…na na na na na na na’ with them. And all holding arms up and going ‘oooooooooooaaaaaaaaaah’.

They seemed not to take themselves too seriously. A lot of other Europop fanbases proper take offence when we take the piss out of their cheerleading malarkey.

SSL1 belted out some decent singing second half n’all. ‘Old Trafford is falling down’ is gaining some traction now.

I sat closer to the front of tier 3 tonight and could hear the noise from tier 1 pretty well. Some singing in tier 3 and 111 combined with the Red Star fans made for a good second half atmosphere as you say. Definitely agree about the drums too, that was a great shout to ban them it’s acted as a good leveller between home fans and the away European fans.
 
Anyone get a pic of the Rodri banner in ss1 before ko? Im just under the edge of them so can never see what the actually look like

“Fuck you city fuck you” was the only one I could properly make out. The I think what you heard as viva Manchester might have been “Fake Manchester” but not 100% sure.. if that was the case then they must’ve got their clubs mixed up

You know you're from Manchester when you describe miserable grey skies as "quite a pleasant evening"

Ain’t it the truth! As retirement looms your post is quite poignant: I’m contemplating there may be more pleasant climes away from our Mancunianism. Who knows? They may look great in the brochure but fuckin hell Manchester is mint!

It was after the world cup break. I'd just seen us play against Tottenham putting no effort in and more charges came against us. Thanks for your concern though.

I have never seen a Pep team “putting no effort in”. I was at both spurs games and we put the usual effort in, we just had a bad game and a half, it happens

Think tonight's attendance and atmosphere could be the worse for a while. The weather is awful. People working in the morning and kids in school. Think it could be less than 35k tonight

For anyone who didn't go last night. I'd just like to correct this completely and utter misinformation. With the exception of a very small section of seats in the top tiers of the CB and West stands, the stadium was pretty much full. Yes there will always be the odd noshows in other seats but that's normal. Whilst I am disappointed that we were maybe a couple of thousand off capacity for an opening game of defending our trophy, to say we were 25k down borders on me thinking you are either a WUM, over anxious or not a city fan.

Red Star didn't take the 3 rd level of ss3.
Surprised they didnt put it up for our fans like they normally do.

I was expecting it to be quiet last night but it was a really good turnout considering they weren't exactly the biggest team to play against. Our tickets were £30 each. Near me it costs £15 to go on non-league Chorley at the weekend so nobody can really grumble at the prices.

The club can't do anything more, I think for many people (me included) it's all about the other costs like getting to the ground. ST holders have to pay for CL games so like everyone else they're going to pick and choose with the other costs too.
