Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

[Eccles Blue]

Nice take on WSS, Ms, S., but by implication does this mean that it's ok for a loyal Sky Blue lad or lass to fall for one of the raggy lot over at O.T. ?

No, no, no. Just reduces them to silly little kids really. :-)
I mean fancy looking for Bernardo probably our most tenacious and brave player? *lol*

They’d run a fucking mile if they were confronted by the lads and they know it, they’d come back at 9pm to claim victory in Beswick after picking on old residents out for an evening pint wankers the lot of em

I've been in the away end at United, Everton and Newcastle and to be honest, you're a fool if you cheer the City goal. As hard as it is, you sit on your hands at least. If you jump up, you're just going to draw attention to yourself and give the stewards a problem.

I know we get more tourists in the games, but surely it's a common thing that if you go to - say - AC v Inter and you sit in the AC end you don't cheer an Inter goal? It's surely common sense. As much as I don't want to see trouble, if you do it you're thick as pig shit and inviting it.

I don't know what the answer is, but I do think if we sell tickets to non-ST holders we can at least make them aware it's "not the done thing" to cheer an away teams goal.

Or sell non-ST tickets to Cityzens with plenty of points.

Could have gone in the match day or atmosphere thread.

The Mibs met up in 7 Brothers, Ancoats Square.

Saw them when I went in for a drink.

They left together about 20 minutes after I arrived.

Shortly after they left GMP began following them.

As you can see from the picture, GMP hadn’t caught up with them at that point.

They were heading to the Townley again just like last season, but they went a different route last season and got close to the Townley before being stopped by GMP. They cut through the park, into the housing estate, came up the ginel and got close to the Townley before GMP piled in on them, and City started throwing bottles and pint pots full of beer at them. They then made their way back down the ginel, through the other side of the housing estate, and attacked City fans at the Corner Shop pub.

Apprently GMP boxed off all the roads and routes around the Townley to stop the Mibs getting to the Townley again. By the time I got to the South stand their numbers were down to a handful who had been boxed in by GMP opposite the South stand.

This isn’t my picture.

I ain't no art expert but that's got to be one of L S Lowry's surely?

Are you sure this is the same lot? Usually the reds who attack the townley and corner shop are locals wouldnt make sense for them to go to ancoats

If they weren't there would have been 2 United firms trying to get to the Townley. They weren't going to go the same way as last season. I could have followed them but I wanted to finish my pint off. :-) They were never going to get to the Townley unnoticed. As soon as they left 7 Brothers GMP officers were trying to catch up with them.

Seemed like GMP were on it this year

Embarrassing. Barely a brain cell between them.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

The laughable rags would've been very welcome at The Townley.

City had a very good and big team of lads there ....a mix of older heads who've done their time and younger, fit athletes all of whom were very ready to give the motleys a real spanking.
