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.
Steward in cb1 pulling me and other fans for shouting at rags players and suppose of took my seat number at half time, second half he was fist bumping with rags bench what a joke.Doesn't help the atmosphere when over-zealous stewards are picking out Blues for supposed plane gestures when they are doing no such thing.

In what ground, at what club, in any country would you ever see the match day experience of the HOME fans radically altered in this way to pander to the away support?That really was a shit show. Even though United fans were kept in for quite a while after the game, the stadium was empty with United fans still kept in, the exits through the SSL1 bar were blocked off on purpose by the club with metal barriers and stewards, forcing all City fans to use the other exits to get out of the ground. For no other reason than what?
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.

Stadium security? There was old bill & stewards coming out of every fucking where Sunday.
Post match Campus security? See above.
Visiting supporter security? They're penned in a private yard FFS.
Home supporter security? I'd like to see 'em try.
The only security issues were the issues caused by City closing OUR post-match facilities, thereby causing security issues for the security staff, who'd caused the issue in the first place by closing a home bar for security issues LOL.
The club actively encourage Blues to use the SS1 disco bar after the game....but close it on derby day.
Go figure.
Also can somebody confirm despite it being morally wrong what actual law does making an aeroplane gesture break??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
You can 100% blame a thick fucker for wearing a scarf emblazoned with the away teams logo while sitting in the home end and filming the away team when they score, its the clubs fault they get a ticket but their fault they act like cunts.Don’t blame a tourist for being a tourist. It’s a high profile game people want to come and experience it.
Blame to club for allowing it, they shouldn’t be able to get anywhere near the game…locking out proper fans while welcoming these lot with the half&half scarves , filming aways fans celebrating etc all for the sake of a few quid. Pisses me right off.
