There have always been a few away fans in home areas but in the past they would not have dared to take the piss. It seems a bigger scale problem at the moment.

The empty seats thing is totally bizarre. Clubs like Real Madrid and Barca rarely sell out because they have huge stadiums. That's the norm across Europe for most clubs. The people who are most obsessed with empty seats don't attend live matches. In their entire history Leeds have never had an...

Virtually every song was about City but apparently we are not their main rivals. Ha ha they don't fool anyone. I was in the Quadrant pub near the swamp a few years back and a bunch of village idiots from Somerset were singing "kicking a Blue." I asked them if they wanted to kick me and they shut up!

Hope you are recovering well. That was also one of my first games after heart attack and surgery. Bloody hell it didn't do my blood pressure any good! I am much better now and off to Fulham tomorrow. Keep the faith pal.

That's the strange thing. It would have been easy to issue a holding statement till the investigation was completed. They have not even apologised to the other well-behaved customers, many of them families, for what they had to witness. I wouldn't be happy to have paid £700 for a day-out to be...

It's a big security breach if corporate fans are going into general admission seats. Your point about belligerent neutrals is well made. I have seen lots of pissed up idiots in corporate areas. A lot of them don't support any club. The club should manage this area properly and safely for...

A very defensive response. They just seem to be totally reactive and never on the front foot. The message to fans has got to be one of reassurance such as:" We are appalled at what has happened and are taking steps to stop it happening again." Our comms has been a shit show for years.

Yes another hilarious report from Stone which claimed that Mount "has always scored goals." In fact he has scored a huge 32 goals in 170 appearances for Chelsea and United, very few of them in the PL itself. His record is worse than one goal every five games. Utterly pathetic. Still Tuchel picks...

It is not unusual for opposition fans to be invited to corporate areas. As far as I know it happens at every club. On occasions I have been to LFC and MUFC in corporate and there were plenty of City fans but we behaved respectfully....at least till the Brightwell screamer at the swamp. I once...

There were pleny of Blues in the home sections at Bootham Crescent as well....but they didn't have phone torches!

Spot-on. We averaged 29,000 in a 34,000 stadium that York season. Great crowds for the third tier but we would not have filled a 52,000 stadium. We averaged 38,000 in a 63,000 stadium in 1968 when we won the league. There were plenty of empty seats near me in those days in the Platt Lane. The...

Writing us off as usual. Just the way Pep loves it. I’m still confident we will be stronger after Christmas. So let’s wait and see.

Gala have huge numbers of fans based in the UK and the Manchester area. I know some who also follow City. They say that most Gala fans hate United and LFC but like City after Istanbul so hopefully it won’t kick off. The only major trouble we have had was with Celtic but they behaved like...

I hate all these stoppages and welcome a crackdown but why can't the refs use common sense. They just need to make it clear they will book anyone for pretending to be injured, especially faking a head injury. An informal pre-match chat with the Managers will sort it. I despise the time wasting...

You have my sympathy. I did the trip from West Lothian for seven years. A killer in the winter. But I met a fantastic group of pals who I still see now and they are still travelling. The trains used to be much better and much cheaper. Now I am in Lancs and have a senior rail pass so I can't...
