The city and trip is like any other. Standard away, it's a shame so many shit out cos of the scare stories
I don't think many gave it a swerve because of scare stories, cost and the hassle of the visa maybe.
If I want to be proud of an intrepid band of blue on a foreign shore I shall! ;-)

I still have my ticket I didn't back out because of any scare stories, I have been to too many European matches to be scared off by stories!! I didn't go because I had a hospital appointment that I couldn't change. I was considering cancelling yes but then I looked at the prices etc and my family told me my health was more important!!
Knowing the hard core of City fans who go to the European aways I would say that less than 0.0001% were put off by scare stories.
Well done and I personally am extremely proud of everyone who went and am glad that they have had a great time.........
Squirty/de niro where's my souvenir to go in the frame with my ticket please??? ;-)

It's like a warzone in here, do we have the banana split or baklava for pudding?

On the train back from Gatwick. Had a great time. No bother, great city with an unbelievable history and some great sights. If visa was cheaper I'd go again. And to top it off a win as well.

I didn't shit out cause of the scare stories. I think most people shit out cause of the money involved to go to a mediocre side!
I will be honest I was one of them that shit out because of all the scare stories.... I was told it was full of communist and other people called Rascalanov and I am far to right wing to meet people like that.

If anybody has any videos from our stand during the match - please, upload them somewhere and write down the links here - as there's no videos neither in russian, nor in foreign sites or filehostings.
P.S. There were about 5 guys from England, downstairs on the right side of our stand, one of them was even in shorts. They were always chantiing! Unlucky, others have rarely sung with them(

A night to remember. Waited a long time in Spain to see City in Europe and it never happened, so it was a big deal for me. Good to meet and greet all the blues that were around. DeNiro, CTID1977 and Kolobak got the rock star treatment on Red Square with teenage footy fans asking them for fan photos. The Mystery Machine van had a lot of top blues and everything else, apart from Scooby snacks and, most importantly, we got the result that was needed.
On another note: Ignore anything CSKA, the club, has to say about racism. Some of us saw four African 'students' walk by with CSKA scarves on and one of the CSKA 'ultras' grabbed his scarf, half choking him and was shouting abuse in his face and wouldn't give back the scarf. Behind the metal bars of stadium, there were police beside the incident. The cop said something to the thug but he ignored and passed the scarf over to another ultra, but to his credit the student didn't give up on the scarf. The police opened a gate and went after the scarf and though the ultras were still taking the piss, security gave the scarf back. Of course, nothing was really done about the cretins.
Overall, 90% of CSKA fans were fine and appeared harmless. A few knobheads is expected but coddling the neofascist element should not be tolerated by UEFA. Throw the book at 'em. The big one.
