I think the disgust at the minute centres around the fact that our club have indicated that they don’t trust us to go to Old Trafford in numbers and behave, but their morals and selfless concern for fan safety seems to mysteriously vanish when they sell tickets in our end to agencies knowing full well they’re being sold to away fans
This is a very good point. I'll also add United into the mix here. Both clubs have ridden roughshod over their own fans, but in United's case it's arguably worse because City fans can go on their website or rock up at their ground and buy tickets in their end for tonight's game no problem, whereas United fans haven't got the same freedom to do the same for the 2nd leg as you need a purchase history showing at least 3 City games attended. Of course, some will find their way in anyway - probably via a tout, buying hospitality (because for some reason, these restrictions don't apply to those who are prepared to flash a wad of cash), a friendly City fan who can buy an extra ticket, or through resale sites which are authorised by the club - but I find it astonishing that United literally have tickets on general sale to every Tom, Dick, and Harry for the 1st leg.

Think you have to purchase a membership first , I tried last night to see what happened and it got to the checkout point but wouldn’t process due to my registration being too new to buy certain products, unless it was my Manchester postcode giving it away.
I think 3 games attended at our place is a bit lenient, the league derby tickets normally go to points where you have to have upwards of 350 plus to attend.
I was in the away end at Huddersfield when we won 2-1 with that Sterling late winner.
I didn't celebrate Sergio equalising penalty, but me and another 2 blues went mental when Sterling scored, and rightly got thrown out.
You have to respect the home fans at all times.
They fucked up the sale, 2 tickets per season ticket but didn't keep records so fans went more than once & got handfulls.As Port Vale get about five thousand max at home and I think they were allocated eight thousand tickets for the game I have no idea why any had to be in our end. They wouldn't have bought them from the ticket exchange as you can't put cup games for sale on there, so one has to wonder where they got them from.
I have been in the home end's when we have played away myself but if you wear no colours and keep quiet and respectful you are usually okay. Often you are sussed out though as you don't sing along or cheer a home goal.
