Had trouble once from English thugs. Had a go at my Irish musicians for singing Irish songs. When asked „ok, what do you want?“ they said „sweet chariot“. That’s where we are.

Another enjoyable day out at Crewe, fans were as usual we're great and created a good atmosphere in freezing conditions.

Not sure if Crewe made a mess of the tickets or what but people were stood in the packed aisles watching, last time we had behind the goal and would of been sensible to of been allocated that too rather than put 50 Crewe fans in it. Seemed poorly managed.

It always happens when the allocation is near enough full or sold out and they don't enforce the reserved seating.

Yes that does bring its own issues but it seemed like there was too many fans in the side stand to when I've previously been.

Didn't impact me but as I was stood on the end of a block it was very populated from top to bottom.

I was surprised we wasn't given the stand behind the goal like previous.

In the end block to the left of the stand there were plenty of seats. The issue was fans standing in gangways by their mates.

As Doyle wasn't booked, does that mean he now cannot be suspended for an accumulation of yellows this season?

I’ve just seen a pic from the Crewe main stand and your correct, empty seats at each end.

Really didn't help, they said sit anywhere then inevitably there were squabbles over 'you're in my seat' etc. Detracted a bit from the otherwise good day out.

Had a great day out,magic atmosphere at the game and crucial win
Only downside was so called fans letting off flares in the pub and singing songs that had nothing to do with Cov or football

It might have been because it was St Paddy’s day
But it was sectarian songs
Loved the banter in the eighties at Highfield rd regards Rangers/Celtic but I’ve no time for all that crap about religion

Yeah thought so, we had some idiots nearby and a couple of cousins of mine from Limerick came along, needless to say they weren't impressed at all.
I think there was a group down the front with an Irish flag which seemed to wind up the bigoted lot and they spent a bit of the first half seemingly trying to have a go at them.

Didn’t see anyone with an Ireland flag and I was sat to the right in the second half.

This was before the game had even started, it was somewhere in the middle.

Atmosphere in Bar 7 (think that’s the name) was excellent but letting off the flares was a bit brain dead, especially twice. Was certainly a few hundred excitable lads there......Notts County will be lively.

I could be in a minority but I quite the flares when they are thrown onto the pitch after we score

I was right by one when it got let off in the pub, nearly chocked!
Thought the bouncers handled it all very well.

Agree with that. And as everyone is stood up its hard to find a random seat in the middle, so everyone was just stood in the aisles.

Also some c-unit who threw a coin and a bloody hot coffee down the stand, which missed my 7 year old by inches. Not to mention the idiots that vandalised a few of the seats.

The female bouncer looked handy but was very friendly, proper toughie

Not saying this didn’t happen but I’m often stunned at what people say they’ve heard or seen at a City away game on here, I’m either not very observant or they’re very sneaky. Must be the same idiots each week.
Was in bar 7 when the flare went off, surprised it didn’t set the fire alarm off and that the bouncers took it so well. Most landlords would flip if you sent a smoke bomb off in their pub. Shame it was out of beer by about 1pm, good atmosphere in there.
