GXCity said:To be honest the type of fans they sell the tickets to for our place seem to be the corporate prawn sandwich types these days. The game has got so big now that the more vociferous fans are unable to get tickets. The Glaziers would rather protect their corporate sales by giving tickets to them than the genuine fans who go to 90% of the other away games. I hate to say it but they do generate a decent atmosphere when they go away from home but against us and Liverpool those fans can't go. FA Cup 3 - 2 aside (although they were very quiet once we pulled two back) they have just stood there not knowing half the words to their nursery rhymes. Let them have their bedtime DVD on, we will still out sing them. As for trouble.......not these days. There is more potential trouble in pubs around Manchester than the ground.
their away fan tickets are decided by a lottery or some other weird unusual means I think. I know a lad who has been to a handful of Swamp games - I'm sure he said 5 games- (he is from Northern Ireland, raised in Liverpool, went to Unin Wales but lives in Berkshire) and he has been to at least 20 away games in recent years despite this.
