Same with 2 guys in front of us that were loving the atmosphere but unfortunately there others that were being total knobs that weren't dealt with even though quite a few City fans were complaining.

You don't really have a point though, do you?You've not really got my point have you
One of my lads, he's 10, was quite nervous about a group of 7 of them and if the club/stewards don't deal with problems then people will take the matter into their own hands.
Where do you sit? Do you even attend games?

I don't get it though? There were hundreds and hundreds of seats in the away end lying empty. Why on earth should several sections of the home support be infiltrated by them. Respectful or not, the day this becomes a norm is the day I pack it in going.
I understand where you are coming from Pablo1 but I am not sure what the club can do about it unless the people tell them at the time of booking that they are actually the opposing team supporters.

Try doing that at Juventus and see what happens
I don't think it's as simple as that mate.
There is a huge Italian community based in the UK, and if a significant proportion of our regular season ticket holders can't be arsed with the Champions League, then these people are going to find it easier to register at the ETIHAD, than go through the official channels.
You might even find that some of them attend our Premier League matches.
I remember United fans moaning on the MUEN website a few years ago, after finding themselves surrounded by Celtic fans at Old Trafford. It transpired that a lot of the Celtic fans were actually exiled Scots who had a season ticket at United.
Realistically, the reverse could never happen in Italy but it could happen if an English team played in Tenerife or Malaga, and loads of tourists bought tickets.
It certainly occurs when England play Rugby in Australia or New Zealand.
I agree it's not an easily solved problem and in fairness it only tends to be the CL games when it's prominant.I understand where you are coming from Pablo1 but I am not sure what the club can do about it unless the people tell them at the time of booking that they are actually the opposing team supporters.
I guess it's easier to put up with when we're winning. :-)

Yeah course I attend games. I sit in the east stand.
There's always loads of away fans sat around us in the champions league. There's never any bother and it adds to the atmosphere.
The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
One of the disappointing features of Tuesday's game was the lack of visiting supporters. It adds to the occasion. All day they are usually milling around town and the atmosphere and expectation builds.
There were few Juventus fans in town. I assume that some local Juventus fans must have bought seats in the City ends, but when Juventus scored I didn't see any reaction in our end. When Bruges came to Manchester last months there were thousands of them.
What I did see was a load of different City fans than usual but that's a god job. Neither of the seasoncard holders on either side of me were there last night
