Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

[Prestwich_Blue]

Presumably the club will have the seat holders details and will ban him from buying tickets in the future. One for the new compliance manager to work out how he got hold of a ticket

That was the new compliance manager!

It's time for the club to start taking some responsibility. They need to make everyone who buys a ticket aware of the risk of going in as an opposition fan. And if its been bought through a tout, that ticket needs to be traced back to the seller and the seller needs to be banned, otherwise this won't stop and eventually something bad will happen

The 1-1 v Celtic in the Champions League is the worst night I’ve ever had in the stadium. They were everywhere and not remotely ashamed of it.

Would City not have jurisdiction over the land around the stadium and Joe Mercer Way?

They will have within the campus grounds .

I wouldn't have thought that included the platform where we get off. In fact, I'm sure not. Surely comes under city council or Greater Manchester Authority jurisdiction?

Again, I think, honestly, touts are good at disappearing. Sort of comes in the job description, doesn't it?

Been in away ends at Leeds, Dippers, Barcodes, rags, Stoke, Villa and Bradford to name a few. One thing I've never done (well I did a bit against the barcodes when YaYa scored) is take the piss. If you jump up and celebrate you've got to expect to get a slap. The lad who jumped up is either very naive or very stupid.

I think you also have to be a certain type of person to dish out a punch for that though, particularly close to where kids/families are. Some people have very short fuses.

Touts outside are the ones who have been doing it for 20 years. They do it right in front of police too. Seem to turn a blind eye. Club are the worst though. They would sell a ticket to anyone for the right price!

I have changed my view pretty much 100% on away fans in City sections, providing they aren’t dicks I don’t have an issue, the club sell hospitality packages that include general admission seats to anyone, I even saw one package where City said they could accommodate away fans.
this is one hundred percent down to the club money grabbing.

If you want my honest opinion, I think the main tout is the club itself. You needed to have been to 5 previous games to be eligible for yesterday, yet there were thousands clearly at their first match.

Yes I get that you'll always get a few who'll slip through the cracks via touts, but there were literally thousands and it seems to be the same for all big games

Tyson Fury is a ra

That was as bad as I have seen it inside the ground for a good few years,most happened after the torch show, I had been moved from 315 to 308 and it was kicking off in several places within that block alone
