Some Of Our Fans

[cheddar404]

Clearly some appalling behaviour from a minority of the 30,000+ blues that were there. It really is nothing new though. In fact it's nothing like as bad as some of the stuff that went on back in the day.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Was in 137 and it kicked off a couple times with a lad and then later on as things hadn't been sorted. At half-time it started up again with a bloke joining in ( his dad?). Wasn't nice to see with young lad and girl in tears as they were terrified as to what was going on around them. Security staff came and chucked them out. Hope it didn't spoil the day for the youngsters.

The lad who was crying was 13 and he was my son.Those 2 cunts in 137..I have there seat numbers.Have a read of the block 136 thread. If you are referring to me joining in I think you will find I stepped inbetween the brawling parties to protect my son as he was crying his eyes out and just saying why???
I was the lad in the blue Gillet for any doubt.The 2 lads who kicked it all off were sat in front of me.
This is what I posted on the 136 thread.
It was block 137 row 19 seats 88 and 87..
The reason i know is because i was sat directly behind it and my 13 yr old was breaking his heart after being in the middle of it..the two cunts were a father and lad on anyone they didnt like. It all started because someone called a sunderland player the m word and this father and lad got all precious and decided to kick off..i cut my hand getting inbetween my lad and these two pricks fighting with anyone. In the end.they.got turfed out tellong people to fuck off on the way..
Alcohol and the fact we were losing didnt help..
Idiots idiots..so many drunken twats watching city..glad the team made me and my boy smile in the end..just at marlybone now for a swift beer...
Those two twats should be ashamed of themselves.
This was all first half in 137 by the way...

I can't see the coralation between our recent success and us having a few dick heads supporting us

Trust me mate.We have some right cunts on board now.

We always have , I am sorry for what happened to you and a few others but they were isolated incidents the vast majority of us had a brilliant day you would think reading this thread that it was one mass brawl

Cheers mate,I agree totally that these incidents are isolated and 99% of fans behave etc.
It just so happens my 13yr old boy was witness to this shit yesterday so it left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. A day out to wembley should be a day to savour.Thankfully in the end it was but I am thinking of reporting these 2 baffoons who kicked it all off. I have their details. Maybe it isn't worth it,I just don't know.

i took my 6 yr old lad down for the weekend and got to say its one of the best weekends i've ever had.The Sunderland fans were absolutely brilliant before the match on the train,we had a proper good laugh with them and wished them all the best and they said the same to me and my lad.Inside the ground we had a great bunch of lads around us,there was one lad who constantly slagged City players off but apart from him everyone was sound,the lad behing us gave my lad his city badge,lad next to us gave him a few quid everyone saying to him 'you'll never forget this day young man' etc,i've come home with a little bit of faith restored that not evryone who goes to football is a twat,there are far more good guys than bad guys its just that the dicks who cause trouble get noticed more,also like to say the build up to the match and the pre match entertainment was fantastic and really got the crowd hyped up!

The pre and post match 'entertainment' was the usual baseball-style tripe where the ridiculously loud PA system kills any real atmosphere.

yeah it did go abit too far but i got into the bit where the woman on the balloon flew down with the cup and placed it on the pitch ready for the army lad to collect.

This topic fails to reflect that there was a crowd of 85 thousand who did their clubs proud. Get it into perspective.

My observations on the day were that Sunderland fans had taken over Wembley Way when we got there. I thought at the time that there was double the amount of Sunderland than City, but when I got in the ground it was obvious why. City fans turned up in the last 15 minutes before Kick Off

I couldn't hear SAFC during the game. The build-up was destroyed by that ridiculously loud P.A system. Got used to that, but don't like it.

I was amongst the first City fans back on Wembley Way after the game because of the location of my exit, and was surrounded by Sunderland. Got to give them a lot of credit for the way they took the defeat.

A lot of them misinterpreted the lack of joy from the City fans present as not being able to enjoy the win. I was just trying to be respectful and not try and rub the win in their faces, that and not wanting to start a riot, but it gets misinterpreted. Had comments about this on Wembley Way, and on the Tube.

Always liked the Mackems. Everything I saw yesterday just confirmed what a great set of fans they are. Really hope they stay up.

Very true, we've come a long way, however no-one deserves to have their day ruined by morons, especially with the costs involved - but the FA and Wembley also have to share the blame for supplying alcohol in the way they do. I bet they're just counting up the profits this morning rather than discussing their part. Perhaps they should close the bars before the game allowing fans to only drink during and AFTER the game to celebrate/console themselves. This way, they can try to catch those too inebriated before they enter the stadium.

Wait til we are back again with a 4 or 5 pm kick off for FA semi if we beat Wigan.

Will be much worse. Always booze related.

I'm not condoning it in any way. I just think it odd that anyone would suggest it's something new.

I was dying for the guy to drop the cables to she if she would go sailing off out of the stadium like Mary poppins.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I thought the support after we scored was brilliant, but I have to say that at one no down the number of people who were moaning and groaning at the City players, at any poor touches, well I thought that was a poor show. The bloke next but one to me was moaning incessantly at and about Yaya (although he shut the fuck up round about the 53rd minutes). I thought though that overall the behaviour was really good considering the number of people there

Bloody hell. Having a pre match drink is one of the best parts of the Wembley experience.

I love being able to have a can or two (or four) on the street without being treated like I'm incapable of drinking a beer and staying out of trouble.

Why spoil it for the vast majority?

It's remarkable that so many fans are so respectful and well behaved. We were told a few years ago that football is a slum sport.

When you consider what was at stake, the respect shown by City fans to Sunderland after the game, and the way they took the defeat was a huge credit to both. Daily Mail readers would have been amazed that football fans with such hugely different emotions could stand packed side by side on Wembley Way after the game without a hint of trouble.

Why? It's only a suggestion - but in my eyes you can drink what you want before the game away from the stadium (even at outside bars like at home) and if you're too drunk to enter the stadium that's your fault. You then have the option to drink during the game and half-time and celebrate after.

Don't get me wrong, I've drunk my share down the years and been a tit with it, but I don't remember being a nuisance to others. If someone told me to shut up, I probably did. But that's me.

Re: Our Fans

I was in 537 and can generally say was top where I was everyone was stood up and singing even had kids in there was a top atmosphere. Nothing like the final of last year shame to hear but it will always happen now were going to be at wembley often attracts a new lot of fans. Success is all they know - youngens

I was in 537 and totally agree

stood up singing for the whole game - everyone up for it - great atmosphere - no trouble

 

[Brendan110_0]

Had one fan on the seat behind me on the coach, couldn't take his beer, calling everyone prawn sandwich eaters and slurring city songs thinking he was the worlds greatest city fan, felt sorry for his Mrs. And someone splattered a hotdog with mustard in his eye (nice one lol).

 

[ell]

How tedious and boring not just every Wembley trip but every other away game it seems we get these threads.

If people pissing in sinks, doing coke and calling people out for using the "M" word is our worst then we have some of the best behaved fans in the country.

 

[jimbopm]

There was a suderland fan in our block. Idiot stood up cheering and goading when they scored. Stewards took ages to get in ad get him out.

This might have been the same block as me (124) When they scored I was shocked at how many jumped up around me, two rows back from us two Sunderland fans gave it the big I am and some blue took major offense, got in his face and told him to basically get out of our end, but in not such a polite way. Looked like it was going to kick off and stewards were slow to react. Luckily it got sorted.

On the whole it was a top day, I saw no aggro to speak of from our fans, was worried for us walking towards the east section area of Wembley but have to say was pleasantly surprised to see groups of Sunderland fans clapping us as we left which was a classy touch. I was shocked at how many of the club wembley seats were occupied by Sunderland fans, reminded me of when we played Stoke in 2011,

 

[Phil1]

Atmosphere was great in 131 - singing throughout and not a nobhead to be seen. We do have some rough fuckers following us though, no doubts about that, but like has been said, we're a working class club from Manchester so it's to be expected.

 

[che_don_john]

Had a couple of Sunderland fans sat near me in at the top of of block 552. Obviously they went mental when they scored but no-one seemed to mind or begrudge them; it is a bit stupid to sit with opposing fans, but those who do it should still be able to celebrate their team scoring at Wembley without too much grief. Although, the lack of response from our fans there might have had something to do with everyone being too exhausted from climbing those bloody steps.

Didn't see any problems or troubles at all (not saying there wasn't just speaking from my own experience). Was quiet in the first half but our block really got behind the team in the second half, and everyone just went mental when we scored our first two goals. Also enjoyed the walk back to the station, blues and Mackems singing together. As my dad said, this would never have happened 15-20 years ago.
