It's ironic when we have our own fans prepared to give up our freedoms so easily too, wanting the introduction of the ticket collection, subjected wristbands and herding to various places.
I won't be doing Italy again, have to consider Spain before going again.
Exactly.What was laughable about the whole wristband/passport thing was that nobody got theirs checked from what I saw, yet it still took an absolute age to get into the ground.
Exactly.
At least in Paris the wristband was checked.
Think there's clear evidence now it's the club's idea to introduce the wristband and passport for this game.
got big bruises on my backside after being stuck by a baton wielding thug/policeman........doing nothing more than walking along the concourse to gain entry to my seat..another copper had a wry smile on his face after numerous fans got a pasting..........a licence to hammer people..............disgusting.........city fans were well behaved in general.........as per....nothing will be done....our club need to lauch an official complaint......not holding my breath on that one.....
The passport rule is UEFA nothing to do with the club. It's been in place for years.
That's exactly what happened to me mate - once I finally got in the ground, I attempted to make my way up the steps to my seat and got beaten back down on to the concourse and batoned across my legs. Thankfully I didn't incur any serious injuries but I've rarely felt as helpless as when I was on my backside. One bloke was so disgusted with their behaviour that he walked out of the ground.
I'd never had to show my passport before this season. Some ID in Italy to confirm the name written on your ticket but this passport thing is new.
Ah it's an Italy thing? I had to show my passport at the city juve game years ago. I thought it was a UEFA rule
