    Fair enough. I used to live in a village just outside Macclesfield and regularly saw the ground on passing......never went to a game though regrettably!

    would have been a decent game the other night by the look of the score. regretting not going, especially when they asked for £4 for a pie at City.

    should have gone to Macclesfield!

    bumped into some feyenoord fans last year when I went to see Barnsley-forest,theyd been at manu the night before,sound guys and knew their football

    are city CL tickets easy to get?

    you needed a buying history for last night but a lot of empty seats. If you've bought one ticket from them in the past you're fine.

    maybe it's better at the ko stage. Who knows. Would have been tremendous in the away end with the proper fans. Other thing about the Dutch fans is that they were mainly built like brick shit houses compared to the tubby stone island sorts in the UK.

  3. The etihad is a fairly abysmal experience tbh. A shower of spoilt sweetie rustlers. The feynoord fans were pretty good. Was Sat in a pub when their corteo passed and it would have been a good laugh hanging around with their fans. 

    Had thought about making that an annual trip because it's so easy to get CL tickets but maybe not. 

  4. Blackpool v Pompey yesterday.  A dreadful 1st half that would have put tits on you but 5 goals after the break made it a decent spectacle. 

    Bit of a shame for the Blackpool fans as the place is far, far too big for their current needs and feels like a monument to a fleeting period of better times that won't be returning any time soon. 

    The atmosphere was saved by the away fans though. That's the 2nd time I've seen Pompey away from home and their travelling support has terrific numbers even if their songbook is the same generic pish that every English side sees to use and the guys with the cow bells and bugles could do with standing on upturned plugs.

    In light of the shambles that was the Quadrangular Tournament, ie crazy fixture scheduling, wholesale cancellation of West fixtures, very poor attendances out with the last Scotland game and not even basics such as a programme or teamsheet/line-ups, has this changed anyone's opinion in the West who were sceptical about change/pyramid?

    Still no Junior Cup sponsor either. We are being badly let down.

     

    Doubtful but we live in hope.  

  6. Man City aren't wanting to sell us tickets for the Feyenoord game as we don't have a purchase history leaving the local options that evening as Oldham, Bury or Macclesfield Town.

    What is the best option from that impossibly glamorous selection? 

    I'm thinking maybe Macclesfield as it has terracing but is there anything positive to be said about the other 2?

    I see Copa90 covered this game last night, with Ethan running out comfortable victors.

    ended up patching it. It just didn't sound that appealing compared to the pub.

     

    went to Fulham v Sheffield Wednesday which was a bit meh as a game. Away win was about right. The Wednesday fans seem like a genuinely abhorrent bunch. Vile racist scum and easily the worst English club support I've encountered on my travels.

    best bit of the day was seeing Frank Bruno outside the ground before the game.

  8. Thinking of going to AC London v Egham Town in the FA Cup tomorrow night as we'll be down for the Fulham game on the Saturday anyway. 

    Turns out AC London were set up by a teenager after the London riots, which is a nice story but the real question is - is attending a match like this a criminal waste of a free evening in London? I'm thinking "probably".
