I've say in dozens of home ends through the years.
Better that than not be there.
But isn't it better to spend the day watching it with fellow blue friends and family at home or in the pub rather than be surrounded by aload of twats?
Watching football on the telly will always be a poor substitute for the real thing to me.
IF I can't, or dont, get a ticket to a really big match I'll take one in the opposition's end no problem. Not this weekend but if I was offered one I'd take it without a second thought.

I'll be in the away end. I think we should get 'Mutly, Give Us A Wave' going.

I attended a derby (in the stretford end) in the early 70's (73/74?). . I was 0-0 and I was 15 at the time.
Being a nervous youngster I didn't wear my colours but refused to wear anything red so stuck out as being suspect but I didn't get any real grief except from a kid who knew my face and knew I was a City fan. He spat at me and tried to get others to have a go at me but failed and backed off.
I met him in a pub about 3 years later and the matter was settled nicely though people did wonder why I'd suddenly become agressive.
You'll be cool mate .. biggest risk is that there'll be a bit of arm flapping and the stewards kick you out because of it.
If you decide against then please pm me and I'll buy your ticket off you!

Maybe. For the young fans of today football appears to be a TV sport. Tat's why fewer people support their local team.
If we got to a Cup semi or final would you rather watch it in the pub than the opposition's end?

I'd rather watch it at home, i only watch the games that are not on TV in the pub (on forigen tele) and i don't like that. I'd rather have 3 or 4 mates round, few beers, indian/chinese/pizza to be delivered dead on half time rather than watching it in silence whilst half the ground is going mental, i couldn't bear it.

When City get to another cup final I'd do anything or pay anything to be there. Fuck the pizzas and shit. I couldn't eat. I've never missed a "historic" City game and don't ever intend to. I'd never forgive myself if we won something and I wasn't there.
