My brother bought me 3 pints when I was 14 in Mary Ds was steaming had 2 cheese burgers in the ground did nothing, fell asleep like that but I reckon it was Stuart Pearces fault not the beer.
 
Was watching a City YouTuber's experience at the match where he was able to capture a few Plymouth fans getting escorted out of the home end

What I don't get is that some of these people don't even seem like they're TRYING to contain themselves. If they know they stand a very good chance of getting escorted out then what's even the point of showing up? It's not like Plymouth is a 10 minute train ride away

It’s just hard to sit on your hands sometimes. Get carried away by the moment.

Was in the swamp paddock whenw e draw 1-1, 91/92 i think. A few of has tickets in the mainstand and could see a pocket of blues in the Stretford paddock so we climbed over and joined them - never forgot Tony Cotton looking confused when we started the Englands No1 chant that it was coming from the rag end :))

In fairness, you're never going to eliminate away supporters in the home end, and we all know City fans have done it on numerous occasions. What we want, and I don't believe it's too much to ask, is that the club make it more difficult for away supporters to gain access to the home end. Selling tickets to anyone as long as the price is right through these third-party websites is a policy that has contributed to the current mess and must be stopped.
 
City are actively working on stopping away fans getting tickets in the home ends.

I think the Bolton fan needs to show some evidence of getting tough with the touting sites and not hindering genuine Blues who help each other with the odd spare ticket.

Until City sever their links with these City ticket resale websites, and that's describing them kindly, any announcement by City that they are trying to stop away fans from buying tickets in the home ends can't and never will be taken seriously.

City will say this is the cross-subsidisation which keeps the other tickets prices down in their business model.

I don't agree with it but it is a reasonable defence. Until demand really drops off we will get fleeced. The FAC prices were good but Salford and PA got 55%, and if other packages are sold the GA price goes into the pool, not the full price.
