City Victory Parade - 2022/23

[mike1923]

Right I’ll be honest. Went in the deansgate cos it’s opposite my work. Started pissing down so didn’t move. Fluked having an awesome view as it’s where the players came out ( at the back as they got on the bus)

It’s quite easy to make a village like Liverpool look like it’s busy when they have a parade, they congregate in one big area by the docks , let’s have it right - they haven’t anything like a deansgate or surrounding streets to fill , you might cram a few hundred on Mathew Street and that’s it , fucking village mentality , Liverpools all time record attendance doesn’t even get in City’s top twenty. Why are they so bothered about us this season anyway , it’s not like they finished runners up ? Smalltime , fucking spitting screech owls that they are,We’ve not heard a peep out of them all season apart from Saturday onwards.

1.1 Million in liverpool for their last parade, so I read. The press can't have been making up numbers can they?

It's only a fucking parade if the parade fucking turns up, at least tell fans that you aren't turning up.

Getting a grip doesn't come into it, City have behaved like cunts tonight and by the sounds of it it could have been very bad.

Ffs

Gates were a stupid idea. Good practice for Glastonbury in a few weeks though.

My lads going there for the full 5 days is it ??

Rags have gone into full overdrive on Twitter commenting on numbers having been hiding under a rock since FA Cup final day. Lost of evidence of mental illness amongst the posts

Ask them how many of them went to Wembley and wore their stupid bucket hats. Fucking set of phallices

 

[mike1923]

Dunno if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I'd like to say a very big fuck right off to the complete **** who broke the big screen at the end of Portland St by trying to climb up it.

You fucking selfish worm burper.

We were in the deansgate beer garden and some mad **** climbed the wall at what I assume is the back of the tram station to walk across. Mad fucker

Tonight the Manchester rain
did taste like champagne

Most certainly did

 

[mike1923]

Hastily arranged? It was a fucking shambles and I didn’t even get anywhere near the stage bit.

A fucking shit show and I’m never going to a City parade again, should we have one.

Jesus Christ, bit extreme. Did you consider going for a pint somewhere and chilling out a bit? There were 250k people there, there’s a chance you aren’t getting to the stage

Was having a good time until people rushed the barriers and my 3yo went in to panic mode. Had to throw pram over the barrier and climb over with him. Seemed pretty dangerous and he was quite shaken. We was at the end of princess st I think. Seems like we was there ages. Ended up coming back and missing it all

Sorry to hear this mate. Big crowds in any environment do seem to being out the worst in some people (airport from Istanbul at the weekend being a prime example!) hope you and the little one are ok and not put off

Metrolink from East Didsbury was a shambles took 1hr 30mins to get to Deansgate on a packed sweltering hell hole, eventually got to the entrance to the stage at Oxford Rd, gates opened briefly and then didn’t open again, apparently stage area was full but no notification, the giant screen switched off, didn’t watch a fucking thing until I got home, stage area didn’t look big enough for the turn out expected, not City’s fault but disappointed with the organisation, kids upset as they didn’t get to see their hero’s.

I was at that gate and it was an absolute shambles. They opened and closed the gate a few times to let people in but then just left people standing not knowing what was going on. Loads of coppers but no one was communicating. I understand it was at capacity but it's not difficult to communicate this so people can move on rather than standing looking at a green gate with my youngest at points being really squashed and no where really to move. My kids were really disappointed as they only just got to see the bus as we caught it just passing once we moved. It could have been prevented by just letting people know the situation.
