Honestly, the last time I remember trouble with our fans and the scousers was the last season at Maine Road and it was our fans who were looking for it. No whoosh involved here.

I was in a pub pre Wembley League cup on Euston Road and it was 50/50 with no trouble at all. It was all very civilised. The 1981 league cup semi final was a different matter!

This is where I have an issue. I've done the Wembley visits and never seen City fans looking for trouble. I have experienced rags, scouse and a lone villa knobhead causing trouble, (directly at me) The rags were by far the worst but the dipper shite weren't far behind. I know what others, @Didsbury Dave for one say and I respect their opinions, but it seems I go on a different day to everyone else.

It's probably the fact that you walk around Wembley with a placard saying
"I HATE RAG AND SCOUSE CUNTS" that upsets other fans.
It's like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 3 walking around Harlem with a similar sandwich board full of racist insults.

Or put it another way. You have a mate you go to all the games with but because he was on holiday/working/skint you have to jib in seperately

Fair point :)

Situations like the scenario you mention are unfortunate but I kind of agree with it in a way. Liverpool do this for all cup competitions as far as I know. There's a legitimate argument that a season ticket holder who hasn't attended any FA Cup games shouldn't get priority for an FA Cup Final ticket over a non-season ticket holder who has attended some or all FA Cup games. Thousands of City fans who aren't season ticket holders attend home FA Cup games, whereas thousands of season ticket holders don't, yet if we get to the final it's the latter who gets priority over the former even though the former has supported the club in that competition and the latter hasn't.

I would kind of agree with it in theory. And for Liverpool with their small local fan base (6000 L Postcode season tickets) and hordes of plastic fans from UK/Scandinavia, they probably aren't arsed if it affects local fans, they have huge volumes of plastics to pick up any slack.

In our case though, we just dont have that. I know I've looked to go to games and want to go and sit with pals but its that awkward to get tickets at the same time dependant on points/cup scheme's etc that we've not bothered at times. Some games haven't sold out but at that point, people cant go as they havent sorted time off work/need to look after kids/and for the European trips the flights are astronomical.

Guess there's plusses and minuses for it, but cant help but feel it puts people off going and thats a shame.

To be fair on the round about in 2011 the 3 rag coaches that arrived all the way from Trafford got it big time. Plus a rag in a shirt and a convertible BMW, which was 6 inches deep in Beer after the dickhead got stuck in traffic surrounded by thousands of blues....
