[PascalGroß Tips]

There were guys walking the stands selling beer. Very civilized....

Sadly one of our ‘fans’ - red face from booze/rage - called one of these guys serving the beers a black c***. I have no idea what prompted it - but totally unacceptable.

 

[PascalGroß Tips]

No, the reason for all the spaces was the Italian police apparently only let us sell 3500 tickets in an away section that actually has room for over 5000.

It’s also the usual 5% allocation anyway - even though that sector takes 5,000

 

[The original gezza]

Anyone about in Milan for a beer lunchtime 12:30 onwards i have loads of time today as don't fly back to Heathrow till 17:35

Hope he was called out by those nearby?

I heard someone call it out, but the chap was almost running down the steps with rage at him. Called him a BC and then disappeared back up the steps. The guy selling the beers just turned to him and told him to f*** off.

Quite a few rows of empty seats at the front of the away section?

section holds 5k but they only gave us 3500, explains the 'sit where you like' and empy seats all around approach

I heard someone slur that behind me somewhere, didn't see whom but wtf.

Those fellas worked their arses off and were all friendly.

The chaps around me getting beers on a regular basis from them - negotiating some ‘deals’ - had a great laugh with them. As you say, they worked their arses off

Imagine what trying to get to the toilets would’ve been like with 5k in there

Birra, birra!

[Oh_aye]

Birra, birra!

Such a good idea. And so nice to be trusted with a beer in the stands as an adult (but also dangerous!)

The whole stadium experience is like going back decades, some of it good, some bad. Sit where you like, beer in the seats, smoking permitted pretty much everywhere.

But also coins and objects chucked at you, almost crushed having a wee and getting out of the ground, police escort dumping you off and, obviously, the fear of ambush if you didn’t take the coaches after Wednesday night’s happenings.

I quite like it but it also shows how sanitised our game in the UK is.

Anyway, this is photos and I could post a picture of the ground, Colloseum or a pizza but I think it’s been done!

The inventive creativity some developed with empty pint pots and blocked gangways to the bogs was astonishing.

 

[Oh_aye]

Yeah, I much prefer the laxer style to be honest. Nice to have a drink, move around and meet up with groups of people. I didn't find the toilets an issue to be honest they always seemed to be relatively free when I went in. Was slightly surprised at just getting dumped at a roundabout with suddenly daunting distance between me and my hotel and everyone in sight looking like a black tracksuit clad ultra. Was alright in the end though. Even managed to get a couple of small gifts for my daughters from the tat shops round the station.

Assuming there wasn’t much uptake on the Fatboy gig last night?

Yeah, we negotiated and paid 7€ for one early doors, but 5€ later on. They were really friendly and the head steward was a nice guy too.

I had a great night but…

Idiots pissing in basins, bins and covering the women's toilet in piss too was rank. Ripping things off the walls because you’re emotionally immature isn’t clever either.

But the worst I saw was a BHAFC fan calling a woman a’f***ing bitch’ because she complained he was using the female toilets and had urinated everywhere. Big bloke, sunglasses hung on the back of his head. You can put up with a lot but being threatening and abuse to a woman is beyond scummy. And yes, stepped in …his eyes told the story. Charging.

Exact word I used to a BHAFC steward last night to explain what’s been done to our game/club ….sanitised.

Bottle tops, flasks, banner/flags….yet what we saw from the opposition fans was an insult to decency.
