After the 2011 semi, City’s firm met up for the Charity Shield and walked down Wembley Way as a show of strength. I didn’t see any trouble but they were determined to make a show by the look of things. Like you, I’ve been to most of the others but honestly seen nothing. There are videos of isolated incidents though.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.
I think this is a flawed metric to judge though. GMP is so keen on arresting/punishing any football fan, whereas Merseyside police aren't interested.I don’t think I’d describe City fans as civilised. The way people bang on about Liverpool fans… we have more arrests than they do every single year.
City United Birmingham Leeds and Cardiff are often the Top5 or are definitely in the Top10 when it comes to fan arrests every season.
I always think Liverpool’s away support at the Etihad seems like a soft group of shirt wearing mixed age fans. I think we have more nutters than they do.
And the gmp lads would for a year at least make a killing.I think this is a flawed metric to judge though. GMP is so keen on arresting/punishing any football fan, whereas Merseyside police aren't interested.
If we swapped police forces for a season, I'd wager good money their arrests would be higher.
The one's I go with a fairly large group are civilised as a rule, but can be uncivilised if provoked enough.I don’t think I’d describe City fans as civilised. The way people bang on about Liverpool fans… we have more arrests than they do every single year.

There's a few close to the sun, but souse accents provoke some. As do racist German ones,but that could have been passed down through the generations :-)Like when someone points at the sun?
