I wasn’t there but judging by all the pics on social media, the overwhelming majority of the 1,000 plus Blues who go to every single game were there in Copenhagen yesterday.

The Supporters Club allocation was described as tight and the points I read went down to 12k, so anyone who really wanted to go and could afford to would have been at the game.

Credit to the Blues who travelled and got behind the lads.

Pretty crap away end if you ask me today. Unfortunately it was completely filled with tourists, which is disappointing given the number of blues who missed out due to it selling out on 12k points.

Needs sorting out, we can't keep sacrificing our away ends just to keep a few people happy or to make a few extra quid.

Had a really great day at the Irish bar mind, but in the ground most songs weren't sticking or spreading.

4/10

Was the same last year when I went. It actually felt like an home/neutral end. Guessing City gave Scandinavia OSC alot of tickets to dish out to help sell it out as last year we received full allocation of what was requested but this year only received 2 and wanted more than that
 
Copenhagen is a great place,good beer,great restaurants and friendly natives.

City fans were split 60/40.....hard core regulars/Skandi supporters clubs & one offs.

After being on the piss for hours, many could hardly stand up never mind sing, and with horns,drums,symbols and sirens, it wasn’t easy to get much going.

Sociadad would be good for the QFs.
 
I heard reports from the Spurs Away game that some Blues were pushing their weight against fans in the City end who didn’t have a Manc accent. This tends to happen every few years and the aggressors are usually making a massive deal of going to an away game (where my guess is they go to very few).

My advice to any Blue would be to sing up loud and proud and don’t worry about others.

The big difference last season was that it went on general sale. If we're unable to sell the allocation out, then I absolutely don't mind tourists taking the slack.

But when fans are losing their tickets to tourists, that's when it's an issue.

Literally can't see the incentive in this!

I presume you were meaning a bigger Scandinavian contingent ?

I think fatigue plays a big part in these Euro trips. I didn't go last night but in Bern and Leipzig there were plenty of regular hard-core fans slumped in their seats! It is easy to blame "the tourists" but a day on the Danish beer can take its toll. Anyway well done to all the City fans who went. They looked lively enough when Phil scored at the end. And I prefer our fans spontaneity to the robots with sirens any day of the week.

Regarding Crystal Palace, I had to turn the volume down the other night. The tuneless droning sound and drums are just awful!

I’d have loved to be at game last night but the organised ‘support’, and the siren, would have driven me mad.

I am yes, as well as many from all over Europe.

I believe in inclusivity don't get me wrong, but I also believe in loyalty. The fact is there were blues on 11k points who missed out on this one.

And no we're not talking 1-2 tickets going to OSC's, we're talking about hundreds.

There were people trying to get into the away end wearing copenhagen shirts for gods sake
