Away fans / tourists in home sections

That's true. It seemed a pretty good local turnout. The club must be listening to the fans?

The South Stand block is always the worst, as it used to be the most expensive, it is mainly back door tickets.

Could easily be it, know a fella who works at City and was surprised to learn he was given an away ticket at OT - fair enough though I suppose?

No problem with some employees getting tickets, but only if they go to the game. Passing tickets on (especially to touts or opposing fans) should lead to them getting no more.

It’s still possible that Carlos Vincens is hading over batches of tickets to any c*nts
 
Observed all the incidents yesterday. The lady made a big mistake yesterday and should have known better. I’m guessing that the 2 boys with her were probably her sons. There’s always a chance of a bad apple and the daft one thought it would be clever to put on a United T-shirt on and probably didn’t realise how warm it would be. I only recognised the sponsor logo as it wasn’t a first team shirt.
The group of 4 and 5 were to damned good looking to be local city fans. All muscle and make up and poses to camera.
There was also at least 1 member of Chicago blues having his photo took with his flag.
There was also a lady with a 1-2 year old daughter with her and the child had a seat all through game.
All this and all they got to watch was a bloody awful game.!

Reminds me of the time City played at Blackpool in the FA Cup in 88.
Ended up in a pub on a side street off the sea front before the game with many of the Guvnors in there (didn't know they were in the crew at the time) and lots of singing going on. At one point we were all singing "Manchester la la la" and this lad stands in the middle of the floor, whips his jacket off to reveal a rag replica shirt and carries on singing as if "we're all in this together aren't we lads".
Next thing after a few cracks, he jumps over the bar for protection and the barman throws him back over..... more slaps... the bouncers came down the stairs and dragged him out. The room went very quiet and one blue says "who was with him?" And one lad goes very sheepish and stood out like a sore thumb with his stance and posture. A Blue went up to him. "Are you a M*****?"
"No"
"You sure?" and pulls this lads sweatshirt down from his neck to reveal a rag replica shirt. More slaps. The bouncers come down again and save this lad from a proper good hiding.
The bouncers then return. "Are there anymore United fans in here? This is your chance to leave with us now because we aren't coming down again". Two relieved rags shuffled quickly across the room to rounds of laughter and jeers.

To this day I still can't fathom out why the first rag thought it would be all peace, love and understanding when he decided to reveal his colours during that song - or why they were there to begin with!

I was actually living in cov during the whole 2 tone time. The place was a dump and full of violence and they described it as that!
I was also living in Manchester during the Madchester years. A much more vibrant and all encompassing moment of my life

Ha Ha. I was in that pub too. Remember it like it was yesterday. Pint glasses hitting the ceiling and shattering down on the silly twat
 
Don’t know if this has been mentioned elsewhere. But I see Tottenham have identified a bunch of fans whose tickets ended up in the hands of Liverpool fans, for their title winning game on Sunday.

Some were traced through Liverpool fans getting kicked out and where they were sat. Others, Tottenham bought themselves off re-sale sites and checked who they were originally sold to.

All had their season tickets immediately deactivated. All their ticket points wiped. And indefinitely banned from Tottenham’s ground, with a review in three years.

Which is exactly what our Ticket Compliance Manager should be doing.
