Away fans / tourists in home sections

[mexico1970]

Seems low.

Although saying that, only takes a dozen wankers to spark off incidents all around the ground.

More chance of the locals being outnumbered on Saturday ;-)

Let's look at it like this.

Plymouth is a one club city, including the Cornish surrounding area. Plymouth has a population of 280,000. This season Plymouth have averaged 16,500. It's a dream match against City, the PL Champions. After beating Liverpool. It's also a weekend in Manchester. Etc. Every Plymothian, Janner(look it up), Fisherman, Cider maker, Sailor, and Seagull will want a ticket, regardless of how they get a ticket, and where they sit or stand at the Etihad.

Surely a seagull won't need a ticket ?

Good point.

Watch your chips.

I know mate. Can only think they thought an allocation of 7800 for Plymouth would be enough to satisfy demand from their fans and while tickets remained on sale in the away section, maybe the club thought none of theirs would buy in our end in the meantime. That's utterly naive. This is a huge game for Plymouth, especially coming off the back of knocking Liverpool out, and they were always capable of shifting well over 10,000 tickets IMO

I’d be disgusted if I was a Plymouth fan and I’d bought a ticket and booked accommodation and then had my ticket cancelled. TBH I’d rather have a passionate Plymouth fan in our part of the ground than a phone watching half and half ****

Dont tell our senior executives

 

[BringBackSwales]

Don’t forget the Swales factor mate. I remember them filling the Platt Lane and Kippax corner, great turnout at the time either way.

Swales factor you say?

Yes but what if the passionate Plymouth fan started celebrating and then got twatted by City fans next to your kids? I would be disgusted by that.

Personally I'd like under 10s to be a quid and north west postcodes prioritised so i don't have a bunch of wankers jumping up infront of me on Saturday.

They may be tame but who knows.

Mine would find it a lot more exciting than the cunts with cameras and half and half scarves that are sucking the atmosphere and life out of football week in and week out

It was a good turn-out for us last night. There may have been a few tourists but they were singing and supporting City. It was great at the end and the players stayed longer to celebrate. They appreciated it. Especially after being under the cosh for that period of the second half.

Yep, tourists everywhere.

Let’s be honest here, City are lucky it’s Plymouth and not Millwall, Birmingham, Cardiff or Middlesbrough

Could be Millwall in the next round if we both get through!

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Just got back from Spurs. That away end is getting ridiculous. No idea why these people who have no affiliation to our club are there. The seats nearest to the home fans were 99% first timers.

One of the wankest away days mate. Only time I enjoyed it was last season on the Friday night. 9k proper blues hardly any tourists

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

If there are anywhere near 3k Plymouth in the city end on Saturday then I will show my arse to anyone who wants to see it. Not a fucking chance

 

[I'm not really here]

That was a fantastic night. I swear we were singing follow you everywhere for about half an hour straight

None of them would sell more than 3000. They would have no need to get in the home end.

For an FA Cup Quarter Final played at a decent time they would

So you reckon they would all sell 7800 tickets and still try to buy some more in the home end? I've seen those clubs take literally hundreds to us in the past.

 

[Dodge]

Might be just me but I don't begrudge any diehard Plymouth fan in our end. Fuck it. Let 'em have their day out. Show some class. We've done it plenty of times in the past. They're not a rival, they're not a fashionable club, they support their local team. Save the digs and slaps for the cunts down the East Lancs and Trafford.

Embrace it, turn it on its head, because sure as eggs are eggs the gutter press will have their "City Shame" headlines already written, as they did for Munich 50. We pissed on their chips then, so let's fuck 'em up again.
