LeagueCup SF - Man Utd - away allocation of only 3000 (p30)

The gmp year after year get the most money out of all police forces for football. Football wise they are useless. Every week when away fans kick off in home section of ground they just wait until the stewards have sorted it then come steaming down.

Make a change for them to actually do something and earn the overtime they are no doubt claiming.

Spot-on. The way GMP manage games at the swamp is a disgrace. Nowhere else are home fans allowed to abuse and spit on away fans queueing up without police intervention. There was a lot of trouble in 2010 at Old Trafford before the second leg with City cars and buses attacked but most of it was caused by local scrotes not attending the game but watching in pubs. The police were truly pathetic on the night. The decision to restrict tickets is absurd and will just fuel trouble across the whole city.

2 weeks for the ticket office to turnover 8 to 10k tickets with the majority of their staff on holiday. I think maybe the 2 clubs have agreed to make this logistical headache go away by hiding behind the excuse they've come up with

Wrong. The day after the draw the raggies started contacting Disabled fans for a ballot and within the same day allocated them, they have had ticket details out on their website for some time. They had 68,000 to shift so they got on with it. We could have easily shifted the 7,000 if we had been organised. As usual we weren't. there is loads of time for the home leg to sell the reduced allocation, including relocating the South Stand. Why city have agreed to this is because they are not organised.
We will all be expected to troop down to Wembley though for a Sunday tea time kick off.

Leicester, united and Zagreb recent home games they have done cock all when it’s kicked off. The gmp in Milan were utterly disgraceful.

Too much like hard work for them to do anything so they leave it to minimum wage young stewards to try and sort out.

Hardly stupid but if you think so thanks for the trophy, I won’t see us lifting the carabao should it come to that so makes up for it I suppose.
 
Not sure why anybody is trying to make excuses or blame the police or anybody else. City and United agreed to it, nobody else, the blame lies firmly with our own club here. I love City but they constantly screw over the match going fan. they love to roll out the tired “we don’t forget our roots or the local fan base” lines but in practice they cast us aside and deemed us insignificant years ago. Would be good if we could get some kind of mini protest or at least a banner going for the port vale game to voice our displeasure.

If our own fans hadn’t thrown objects at United players and one fan hadn’t made a monkey gesture at a player then maybe we’d have a full allocation.

So the majority suffer because of the minority, why not just play behind closed doors and pipe the crowd noise over the speakers. I am not having a go at you as you are in part correct, the idiots gave City a way out and they took it. Just as we were seeing some action regarding Safe Standing as well.

Unfortunately this is what has influenced the decision.

A few wankers have ruined it for everyone else.

I will likely miss out on a ticket now because of it.
