Went to an Old Firm derby about 4 yrs ago, atmosphere was tribal, a real experience, put the Manc Derby to shame (hatred wise), was at Celtic Park and Rangers won, it was the match when Panorama did a programme on it, think it was the one where a Celtic supporting teenager got battered by his own fans (mistaken identity) because he was wearing a blue tracksuit.

Seen it a few times over the years. Ours gets pulled up or taken down just about every game as it's too big (the flag!!)

I think the fact that we've caught up to or even overtaken the scum will mean that the atmosphere in this coming derby spells major trouble unless it's a tepid 0-0 draw.Also I'd like to add that whether you support Celtic/Rangers or utd,when visiting Manchester,please don't leave your rubbish on the streets or vandalise anything.

On another note, does anyone know if the Manchester or Mary D's will show the first half of the OF game before the Memorial service?

Would love to go to an Old Firm game, same with Barca-Madrid and River Plate-Boca.

Hope this thread doesn't descend into the usual tedious sectarianism.

we could do a bluemoon road trip up there one day.

dont know the ticket crack, might have to do hospitality or something.

Did that at Celtic Park when O'Neil was there in his first season, 2000 I think?

I can tell you that it is something else as far as noise and visceral hatred goes. It really makes our local rivalries seem rather tame.

Having a chat and a pint before the game I was talking to a few Celtic fans and joked about the fact that they played each other so many times it must get boring?

"You sonny, are about to be educated in the art of football passion"

He was spot on.

If there is a BM trip on the go you can count me in.

It was directed at the scum mate,not you.You live much nearer to Eastlands than most utd fans.In all honesty though fella,stay safe.I know there is a lot of segregation in the of derbies but it's too difficult in MCR.Put it this way,if you want trouble,you'll find it.In fact I know from experience,even not looking for it,it can find you.

Someone mentioned tickets earlier in this thread. In the last year (& I can only comment on getting tickets for CP) there has been some form of public sale for the Old Firm games and this is the first time I can recall this for about 16 years. The ecnomic climate, the poor SPL standard are a couple of reasons for people turning their back on it, but I know a few guys who buy public sale tickets at £26 for the average game and are then asked to cough up £38 and £40 for the visit of Ran*ers.

Back on track, I think if there was a time to visit for an O/F game, now might be the best chance you've got!
