given I was there - ticketless I can say that I did not see any violence till I got up today and switched the news on, and I am thoroughly embaressed and sickened about it all 100%, and to the poster who said there was 5/6 screens - not the case - 2 in albert square, 1 in picadilly gardens and 1 for the russian fans the other side of the city - 3 for rangers in total (were were the others?) - I was in albert square where there was 2 screens which worked fine, we did mention to other fans that putting 10,000 folk in a 'cage' giving them beer from early doors and letting them wait 9 hours for a footie match is a recipe for disaster and we said this at 2pm that day...and it turns out I was correct..even the police where we were we great, having a laugh, taking pics for folk etc...all good natured which is why I couldnt believe what went on after watching the news this morning..
and to the other poster who said that they wouldnt travel to a game without a ticket - IF your little team ever get to a european final (yeah right - got to win something first!) and its in your home land I bet my last £1 you would go sample the atmosphere etc...I have been all over the world following rangers and there was no way I wouldnt have went to manchester given its just down the road from me..
and the beer prices were such a rip off - being charged by the can when buying a case (£27!!!!) is wrong, I refused to do it and bought 4 packs instead - the guy infront of me paid £34 for a case of wickeds !!!
everybody was out to rip off the fans and fair play to them given it was a demand and supply thing everyone paid the prices...I hope the shops were happy with their takings...
I am curious to see what replys come from this..
