    That's my stance too. Of all the teams from that era, for the sheer magnitude of overcoming United's reign under Fergie, i would want it to be City. But with respect mate, seeing a handful of foreign fans in a Wetherspoons doesn't mean that's a true reflection of the general attendee to Old Trafford, or anything even close. I would wager 98% of United fans who go to Old Trafford are also from this country. I was in Manchester on the day of the Queen dying, when the United game went ahead. Most of the United fans in the city centre/Picadilly Gardens etc, and walking past probably the same Spoons you went in (my hotel was next to a Spoons close to Picadilly station) appeared to be British in the main.

    The thing about United i find funny is just how bad they are; nearly all my mates here in Bristol are United fans, and they are frequently disappointed in recent years. And they are of a generation when United dominated when they were kids i.e. the 90s. The glory days are long gone, and they are stuck in limbo; never have they experienced the hometown 'fan experience', and they can probably barely remember the days when United were good. I imagine many of them are left wondering why they supported them in the first place.

    Just to defend myself in my first statement.. i still have a season ticket at oakwell

    Ive been to 2 citey games in the last couple of years just because of the availability of tickets..
    Home to leeds when they won 7? 8? - 0..
    And
    Home to athletico madrid in the quarters/semis? City won 2-0 i think.
    Both times, basically, because the tickets were easily available and cheap.

    I would say the have a fantastic set up outside the stadoum, stage for bands to play, plenty of food options.. it was brilliant.. but i would expect it to be at that level with that expenditure/income.

    Basically brilliant day out though.. and i choose to overlook the terribleness around the owners as im sure if you look deep enough into 90% of football clubs owmers theyll be something similar, including ours and the Crynes.

    90% - quite a bold claim when you take into account torture, death sentences and human rights abuses

    I don't feel the need to defend myself at all - it's local, free and I am tight, plus I like football. I was at Fleetwood last Saturday and I'll be at Oakwell this. Also been to Old Trafford and Edgeley Park this season already. Football fan.

    Hoping to take the young un to see City, difference with this thread is his mother's a Manc :eek: rather than force Barnsley on him she's told him he can pick United or City as well.

    Manchester City vs Sevilla in the champions league on the 2nd of November if anyone is interested. £22 is the cheapest ticket, £42 is the most expensive.

    Last night's game vs Copenhagen was one of the best experiences of my life. Truly amazing

    I wouldn't go if it was a fiver and half a mile away.

    Each to their own, but I can't imagine watching a half strength sportswashing team I don't support batter a comically mismatched team in a dead rubber being one of the best experiences of my life.

    I go watch City whenever I can.

    My wife and son are fans and it's my local team (well, United are closer but......... never)

    Their accessible and disabled facilities are second to none and the staff are amazing.

    Never beat your own team achieving something - I've been with friends and seen Everton stay up against Wimbledon, Jimmy Glass scoring in last minute to keep Carlisle up but nothing will beat what I have seen us do. You don't get same connection when you watch a neutral

    It's true, I can watch Man City win 6-0 playing beautiful football, but the heart wants more, it wants to beat with pride at the achievements that a team you have personally invested in delivers. You can only get out what you put in.

    I went to watch City last season v Everton and found it boring. Beautiful possession based football but only one team trying to break down the other it just turned into crab like football with City winning 3-0 without breaking sweat.

    When Barnsley score nothing comes close to that feeling for those few moments.

    Man City put out a very good side so £22 is a bargain!
