Away fans / tourists in home sections

I’m fully aware of that. I was at the game. As you’ve said though, the cup was thrown from the Liverpool end. The discussion is away fans in home ends and how two sets of supporters are treated differently.
You wrote a whole paragraph about the coppers not doing anything about the Feyenoord fans chucking shit. I was merely adding to your point that the club don't care about things like this, otherwise they would've done something about this as that liverpool game was 2 years ago now.

So yes we are talking about away fans in the home end, however my point is completely relevant to the wider belief the City have demonstrated neglect towards the safety of our fans.
 
The club 'officially' sold 2700 Feyenoord tickets, or that's what they told steward supervisors.

A guy behind me asked to be moved to the away end and was refused.... But they let him stay in 115 until 85mins.

They continue to bury their collective head in the sand regarding City fans safety. You carry on convincing yourself otherwise and I’ll keep an eye on missiles sailing through the air towards my sons.
 
Nearly a riot last night after their first goal. About 30 of them cheering, waving scarves and taking the piss out of us. A pointlessness of stewards, or whatever the collective noun is, grouped and went to tackle them, stood in the way of watching it go to 3-2

It was a fucking school trip. One of many pockets who did the same thing. The teachers are dick heads for taking them in the home end, the club are dick heads for selling them. But when I hear next to nothing from middle aged dick heads apart from slagging the team off before turning on 12 year olds, it’s a little bit sad.

Fucking hell did you even read what I said before responding? I'm literally agreeing with you that the club is neglecting city fans safety.

How is pointing out that someone else has already been injured and the club did nothing about it, "burying my head in the sand"?
 
We’re in Joes East, pretty much all away fans last night… the fans around us jumping up and down… no trouble… but poor show from City allowing them… further over towards the away end… away fans were scrapping and throwing objects on home fans below…
How many feyernnord fans were allowed in home seat was quite crazy… not good look City

City like sending out emails. But don’t hold your breath for a similar email from City to the fans.

Manchester United's chief operating officer Collette Roche has said the number of Galatasaray fans who bought corporate hospitality tickets for Tuesday's Champions League game at Old Trafford was "unacceptable".

In an email to members sent on Friday afternoon, Roche apologised to fans and acknowledged some "felt unsafe".

United are conducting a full investigation into what happened, having initially believed the problem stemmed from touting and sales through official channels, including from season ticket holders and members, to UK-based Galatasaray fans.

While evidence gathered over the past few days suggests 'bots' were responsible for the purchase of tickets in one area of the ground, which were then sold on by touts even though on the club's ticketing system it showed them being bought by official members, United accept a problem occurred from the sale of hospitality tickets, as many fans claimed on the night.

If you were that bothered by your families safety you'd move seats away from the away fans. Can't have it both ways, all the atmosphere with zero nobbers is unobtanium unfortunately.

We’ll just get a survey on how best to stitch up the high point holders in favour of the corporate allocation or what’s the quality of the pies in the east stand lower, that was also rife with cheeseheads last night too
And I was relocated due to corporate seatings for champions league fixtures
Some Dutch tw@t was kicking off as the stewards were trying to get him and his three mates out
Fuckwit fell on me with a steward
Then all they could do was apologise to me profusely even though they were told that they were there but did nothing until they scored
One young steward spotted them told his supervisor who said he’s wrong he can’t be Dutch as he has city hat on ffs
Cnuts

City organise lots of school trips from around the UK. My school from Birmingham attended the previous champions league game. The students follow lots of different teams. They come from deprived areas of Birmingham and don't get to attend live games much. They were sat in the lower North Stand (I'm in the second tier North Stand), so I was able to keep an eye on them and they were thoroughly enjoying themselves and were in great spirits. I spoke with some of the sixth formers the next day and they loved it and have great memories for life (despite not being City fans). One of them has only been to 4 live games and 2 of them are school trips to City. The PE teacher that organised the trip is a plastic Liverpool fan, so it was good for him to see us score 5! Where I sit lots of season ticket holders don't seem to attend European nights, so it's inevitable that City want to cash in with tourists and school trips.

organise some cheaper tickets for your own fans instead of charging over 70 quid on the Saturday, and then expect the same fans to shell out again 3 days later

Do you mind confirming if kids have to pay? If so, how much?

In my view, kids are doing City a favour in these games, as having a fuller stadium looks better on TV, so they shouldn't be paying at all.

I agree City should price these games better, but even when they have done this in the past lots of season ticket holders still don't attend.
 
Is this the area they have to give to the away team for UEFA matches? or is that the other side of the ground?

"Premium seating in between the 18 yard box and the half way line" might explain it?

I got in the ground early last night and about 7:30ish a pissed Feyenoord fan turned up in 314/315, identified by waving his scarf everywhere (wasn't even half and half) and talking to the away end and other blues.

To be fair to the stewards as soon as they saw him they called for the stewards in the bright yellow to remove him which they did within 5/10 minutes. The issue was, given I and everyone else had to undo my coat when being searched to get in last night, how was someone that pissed with a Feyenoord scarf on (and i doubt he was being subtle about it) allowed in?
I don’t think they care, there was a Spurs fan with Son on her back and two strikers up top but nobody blinked an eye

Yes they pay (and for coach travel). I believe the school subsidised the cost.

no wonder there is no money to hire teachers. I get it's a nice experience for the kids who will remember it forever (hopefully!), but not sure it's the best use of the school's money.

I could be wrong about the school subsidising the cost, but the school will see the wider benefits for the students and for the school. For example, the trip was used as a reward for attendance, good behaviour etc. Those that didn't go have now heard lots of positive stories from the students that attended and are more motivated for the next school trip.
 
I’ll be sat in Liverpool’s Main stand on Sunday, in corporate, I’ll keep me gob shut
Did corporate in NYE in the Kenny Dalgleish Stand a few years ago too, saw two other blues I knew in there.
It happens, get offered tickets and a seat, yes please, thank you very much

Because season tickets keep going up in price too much so loads pull out of the Cup Schemes to pinch some back.
