Atmosphere 2024/25

[jrb]

Come on my short walk round stadium to South stand loads of people looking at phones trying to work out which entrance to go in soriano will be proud

Those were our legacy fans who have managed to get a derby ticket, and have come back to City after being prices out of previous home games. The heating has been turned off, and the kids are going hungry.

There’s a video on Facebook of the United fans kept in after the final whistle, and the Etihad is completely empty of City fans.

The caption reads, listen how loud United fans are at the Etihad (they would be in an empty stadium), or something similar.

The initial comments, which I stopped reading eventually, were hilarious, about how great United’s away support is, and was at City.

As you say, social media is nothing but a cesspool of half truths and lies. If you were at the match you’d now how poor United’s away support was yesterday, bar 3 minutes of full-time, extra time, and after the final whistle, locked in.

I know pal. Ended up getting sucked in and arguing with a few. Haha.

‘City til I die’ - can we finally bring this chant back now. It’s our anthem.

Just replied the same thing on an 1894 post

It happens to the best of us mate, and it's easy to get sucked in when you see them spouting bullshit.

I'm a lot more laid back these days but that was a difficult one for any of us to take yesterday. On my way home, me and a mate dived in a pub round the corner from my house for a quick post-match pint. It was full of celebrating Rags, many of whom probably can't find Old Trafford even with the aid of a Sat Nav even though it's only on the other side of town to where we were. Ended up getting suckered into a "conversation" with a couple of older Rags, telling them they were lucky to which the response was something along the lines of the win was a fully deserved one. I don't know what then happened as I had my beer goggles on but I ended up telling one of them that between 1968 and 1990, City won more trophies than them. I meant to say between 1969 and 1989 but that's what happens when the beer kicks in - even stattos like me start making mistakes! He wouldn't have it and rightly so as it isn't true. However, he then insisted that the Rags won more trophies than us between those years which again isn't true as it was 5 trophies each. Before I had chance to call out his bullshit, my phone rang and it was the other half asking where I was as I'd told her I was coming straight home after the match. Went outside to take the call and I never went back in, instead going home, which was probably the right call as I might've gone back in and ended up lamping the **** which isn't really my style as I'm more of an argumentative fucker than a fighter!

Of course, it was only when I got home that it hit me that I'd left my mate in there to deal with the fallout. Got on the phone to him and he'd already left as he himself was on the verge of losing it too!

I have a phoney Facebook account for the purposes of just keeping track of the supporters club news. Anybody noticing on social media them waxing lyrical about Utd's support? They were absolutely fucking horrific. Barely knew they were there until the penalty. Either deluded (which to be fair most of them are) or are armchair supporters and weren't there.. again (which most of them are).

Level 3 in South Stand was really good. Was it a coordinated thing in the back of 314? That block in particular is worthy of their own praise.

The whole of SSL3/2 should be an exclusive home end.

Away fans should be shifted down to the shit seats in ESL110/111, shit views,shit acousticts for shithouses.

The atmosphere would be lifted immediately with no compromise to segregation,safety,security sightlines or coach park logistics.

Realign two fences,possibly install a short section of solid 'riot fences',use K1/2 turnstiles and bingo.

Ps...the stadium capacity would increase by X100s.

Two home ends are better than one !!

Three early 20s lads next to me. One starts filming their pen, I said “what the fuck are you doing, are you a red, don’t fucking react in any way if they score”.
Poor lad mumbles “it’s for my story, I’m just here to see the game I’m not a United fan”. I felt a bit bad tbh, he didn’t react in any way I think he was just a neutral taking in a game - not his fault City take tickets off blues to sell to any fucker who’ll pay through the nose for it.

iPhone addicted cunts filming the match is a big reason I don’t bother going nowadays

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Well you know we have them rattled when Burnley fans are giving it or trying to give it.

As I always do, don't reply don't rise.
Surpried they can actually write with 6 fingers...

Doesn't help the atmosphere when over-zealous stewards are picking out Blues for supposed plane gestures when they are doing no such thing. Mate of mine SSL2 got pointed out & lifted at half-time and spent the night in Newton Heath nick. Club have banned him until they can review CCTV. Another lad in the next cell to him arrested for a similar "offence". Wonder if they arrested any giddy Rags for doing the exact same thing after their equaliser?

Doesn't help when they close HOME bars and deny access through the SS1 disco exit after the game. The Blue who was throwing haymakers at the stewards & dibble isn't gonna be seen anytime soon at the ground.

Doesn't help when you've got coppers in the home concourse that you know are just itching for it to kick off.

Doesn't help when your team capitulates like a wet fart and show the balls of a church mouse in a derby, but that's another story.

Up the fucking Blues.

I can't believe you can get nicked for a plane gesture! Half the time they do it themselves and have their phone recording waiting for someone to do it back. At full time they were all over at the barrier with their phones out saying all sorts hoping for reactions to record. Proper grasses
