Last week, eight of us went on a lad's weekend to Germany to watch three matches on consecutive days.
A member of the forum who supports 1FC. Koln bought ten tickets for Koln v Augsburg on Saturday. Eight of the tickets were for us, one for him and one for his mate.
I don't want to name him as I haven't asked his permission, let's call him G, but he texted me around 13:00 last Saturday to warn me to get in the ground early doors because of security checks and queues. We knew best though so stayed in the pub until about 15:10 (kick off was 15:30). The queues were indeed huge and as the first two of us got to the front, my mate got in but my ticket didn't scan. I fought my way back through the crowd and went to a ticket office to get a replacement ticket. There was a customer being served and a bloke in front of me in the queue. I decided to check City's score on the BBC app, last I knew it was 1-1. As the page loaded, KDB had just made it 2-1. Due to me having had a few beers, I sort of shouted out "Yes!!! Fucking get in!"
The bloke in front of me turned around to see what the commotion was and I explained to him that I was English and my team had just scored back at home. On showing him my phone stating Newcastle United 1 Manchester City 2, he asked "Are you Kev?"
He was G's mate. In a crowd of 49,200 people, I found it truly staggering.
