There is less hassle at the Swamp. They were baiting blues to stand up to them and some did and they piled in because of their numbers. The last thing you expect to hear is "Fuck off back to Manchester" at a Manchester Derby but doesn't that just sum them up?
I can fully understand any blue who would choose not to go to a game at Wembley against them, but they will of course be there to see you.
I sincerely hope you Mackems will enjoy cup final day as much as we do.
You have given them another huge kick in the bollocks and we all loved it. We hope their form continues and their scumbags fuck off back to East London and find something else to do. You never know, those that are left (I would love to see them get 32,000 in the third tier) may even turn into decent football fans. Enjoy the day everyone.
It was a perfect storm. City fans gathered in their thousands drinking at the other side of the stadium, whereas united fans gathered on wembley way as it gives the best access to their side. The city fans who got coaches didn't have to walk down wembley way, whereas the united fans did. This left a situation where The city fans who got off at wembley park had to run the gauntlet down wembley way outnumbered 5:1.
Even city's hooligan firm who travelled got off at the wrong station and missed wembley way as they'd never been before,
Revenge was exacted at the charity shield a few month later where a big mob of city marched down wembley way and united shit themselves. Not that I'm glorifying hooliganism, but the bullies from the semi final deserved to be taught a lesson from what I've heard.
Correct Dave, same mistake was not made at Charity Shield.
Problem was that the huge City contingent at the Roundabout had no idea what was going on up the road.
Had this mob moved (and I am not suggesting that all the people there wanted a fight) and come about and walked down
Wembley way then the Rags would have come no where near and a lot of the people who got bullied would have been spared
the shit they encountered.
After the game obviously the Rags left first and again any Blues who left early were subjected to their bullying tactics again.
When City exited after the presentation there were huge numbers going down the way and they disappeared.
If we ever play them again I would suggest people who want to avoid the Scum should use Wembley Central if they can.
Also have to say the police were absolutely useless.
This was what really annoyed me at the Semi-final, they did absolutely fuck all to deter United's trouble-makers. Thanks to the organisation cock-up loads of City coaches were parked behind the United end and it was open season when we were heading back to the coaches after the game. Coppers were leaning on the wall watching it go off and doing nothing about it.
