Away fans / tourists in home sections

I've heard (from a Blue lifted at the game) that he was an American tourist.

He was told this by the custody sergeant at Pendlebury nick.
100% correct. He was from America and is a blue. When Liverpool scored he took his phone out apparently and people 'presumed' he was a Liverpool fan and because of this idiots decided to fill him in
Fucking Embarrasing I am afraid.
At least 5 got lifted.
 
They used to give tickets to local schools for free, they did at the one my sister worked at in south Manchester at least. That was a few years ago mind.

I could be wrong, but Clicking on that link - it looks like a money making scheme.
Up to about 10 to 15 years ago tickets to local collages too, for £5 and they went up to £10 before that all stopped,mainly cup games.
A bloke i worked with,his wife worked at beaufort road college in Ashton and got them for many a game.
 
Our revenue eclipses anyone else’s in the league , and will go up an awful lot when the new stand and hotel is open.
This club is heading for north of £800m in the next twelve months even without the new stand - the club World Cup tv rights alone are said to be £70m
I totally agree with you.
My ticket goes back below 700 and less pricks in half n half scarves.
I'll be back again.
It won't happen though

Zero reason for this, I'm an American Blue myself and that is terrible, I've been in that block before and had zero problems

Hell, City have YouTubers who film away fans celebrating, and they're passionate fans but they just get a few seconds of footage for the video so people can see what it's like inside the ground

Even if someone IS an away fan where they shouldn't be, the response should be "tell security," not throwing hands. You risk a stadium ban and also stuff like this where you just misidentify someone
 
Only the club to blame for it.
I said before the game on here someone will get hurt soon and that might end up been the game.
Its going to get worse though
I agree , but a lot of this stems from our friends up the east lancs road . Our coach getting pelted , the city girl fan getting a cup of coins on her. Retribution is a horrible thing , it was going to happen.
And in know way am I condoning a vicious beating of a fan , Liverpool , neutral or otherwise.
Someone is going to get killed before long.
Both clubs are to blame in my honest opinion .
Liverpool fans and their behaviour is a closed shop , but City can do a lot to stop this type of incident happening with stringent ticketing.
Tribalism will never ever go away, vicious beatings are a completely different thing.

It was the same at Manchester met uni. I would get tickets to most of the champions league games for a tenner.

Agree .
There's also a tension amongst fans who are sick of having nobheads filming the game.
Gorping about not having a clue where they're meant to be sitting while proper fans are priced out

It wasn’t just the one fan (the lad who got assaulted) there was loads of “neutral fans “ that people clocked , that lad who got the shit kicked out of him was just in the wrong place at the wrong time - a victim of simmering hatred towards Liverpool fans.
People clock , and I’ve done it myself , you know straight away who is a “blue”. But it’s a very fine dividing line to their actual allegiances for a fact.
Listen , I’ve been in the stretford end in a Derby (the 1–1 Curle penalty game ) but their wasn’t mobile phones back then , and I shit myself when Curle slotted in. Things are different now , more dangerous now in a lot of ways, people get their phones out to film the atmosphere. When we did it you remained as neutral as you could.

I think filming the away fans people think.
Why the fuck would you do that.
You must be a dipper etc
