OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 "Along with Celtic, we are urging supporters who do not have tickets not to travel to the city," read a joint statement from Manchester officials. "They will not get into the game and facilities will not be provided for fans to watch the match elsewhere." The statement was issued on behalf of Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Police and they even got United chief executive David Gill to put his name to it. The statement went on to say: "Manchester is looking forward to welcoming Celtic fans visiting the city for the Uefa Champions League tie with Manchester United on 21 October. "We're a city that's passionate about football with a proud reputation for hospitality. "We promise to show the greatest respect to visiting Celtic fans and are sure that they will respond in kind by helping keep our streets litter-free and abiding by local bye-laws. "These laws obviously include a ban covering on-street drinking and this will be enforced. http://www.rivals.net/news/pgarticle.aspx?...37504&id=50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coopermania 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The sad thing is, if anything kicks off, guess who will get the blame ? Us.

I hope they get humped and turn nasty inside the ground. Remember when they played Rapid Vienna there in a replayed fixture after crowd trouble at Parkhead?

kirkiebear 1,013 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 apparently it kicked off a bit the last time they were down in Manchester, I remember a few english papers mentioning incidents of fighting in the city before and after the game, but as expected the scottish papers didn't give it the slightest mention.
