I'm being honest now and I'm trying my hardest not to be dramatic.
Not wishing to take sides, but today was a throw back to MR(Claremont Road) and the 80's/90's. If it wsn't for GMP, numerous horses. batons charges, dogs, etc, it would have been a war zone today outside the away holding area.
I've never seen a mob that big at COMS. There were hundreds.
It's been many a year since I've seen City mass up like that and charge the police lines. And charge again, trying to get to United. You expect that from Millwall, Cardiff, Stoke etc, but not City. As I've stated above, if it wasn't for 'modern' day policing methods, then it would have been carnage today. The police van neraly went over. It didn't because the police eventually came piling in and began whacking everyone, forcing them back from the van.
TBH, I'm not surprised United stayed in the holding area. I'm not surprised the police kept them in either. For their own safety. Today was similar to the Stoke game away when we drew 4-4 and we both went down. City trying to get at United, just like Stoke tried to get at us, and United like us, staying behind the fence.
It must have been 10 minutes after the final whistle when I walked onto Greymare Lane, from Ashton Old Road, and yet I saw and heard nothing.
By the way that Stoke game you refer to City won 5-2.
So you didn't see atleast two or three charges from a large City mob at the police lines trying to get into the Utd holding area? One copper filming got knocked on his arse. (I was watching from the other side of the road).
So are you saying that this is all made up?
I had no part in it but know what I witnessed.
