Warm £6 cans of Budweiser and inconsistencies regarding travelling down on "Covid-secure" transport then jumping on a tube with everyone else, it sounds like it was a much better day than I feared it would be for those travelling down. I couldn't be doing with the hoop jumping and paying a fair old whack for the privilege but I'm glad it turned out to be far more enjoyable than expected. The atmosphere sounded good which was a surprise considering how few were in such a large stadium but I have a couple of theories on that. One of course is that after not attending games for so long the fans would be bang up for it. Secondly, it was probably easier to get chants to spread with fans of each side just in one small part of the stadium.
I must add that despite all that I felt gutted for @Tbilisi and his lad when reading about the testing cock-up on here on Sunday morning.
Definitely easier getting songs going than usual, it felt like you were in an away end more so than Wembley. Throats still fucked now.
Difficult to word Sunday as I don't want to come across like a right dick because I went and it was so much better than expected but all I will say is that as others have previously said it will be some moment when we're back inside the Etihad and it's full.
