Not necessarily an age issue, but there's definitely a Mad Friday feel to certain City European games.
Brilliant if you’ve been supping all day, and don’t sense the extra volume and aggression in your tone.
Horrendous if you arrive late, and are then confronted with “What’s your problem, you miserable twat?” as you try to avoid eye contact with the idiot who's stood between you and the bar.
You can apply that to plenty of situations though, not just City away games in Europe. Back in 1992 at the tender age of 22, myself and 5 mates went to Kavos on holiday. We didn’t arrive until about 3am and we were all sober. We were shocked by some of the sights on the streets but once we got into it the following night, it didn’t seem too out of the ordinary.
In Düsseldorf on Tuesday it was raucous but good natured, but if you wanted a quieter, more relaxed, experience the street parallel to ours offered that with plenty of blues drinking there too.
