New breed of away fan

[M18CTID]

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.

It is supposed to be a football match, Not Kavos at 3am,

Shit, good point. So anyone attending an away day in Europe isn’t allowed to go on the beer and have a sing song. Thanks for clearing that up sunshine. I’m glad you weren’t in the Augustiner Keller in Munich in 2013 when myself and a few better known members of this forum were amongst hundreds of blues singing for hours and busy drinking the place dry. Shocking behaviour that was.

Manchester’s a rough city and a proportion of its football supporters are rabble. Has it ever been different?

Only UK law stating we can't enjoy beer in seats at football.....fill your boots at cricket/rugby/tennis etc.

Yes, when we were shit them fans stayed away but snorted more coke (when it contained it).

Given the behaviour it led to the other night is there any wonder?

Its not just a football problem but a society one. Go out to any town or city on any weekend and drug taking is rife sadly.

Very true sadly. Off their heads on cheap coke, all thinking they are ten men.
