Two wrongs don't make a right, but I know for a fact United are not the only set of fans to persistently stand at away ground but are the only ones who have such restrictions imposed on ticket allocations.
Last week liverpool fans attempted to throw a flare either onto the pitch or into the disabled section below them. Like Liverpool have done to us will United reduce their allocation for next seasons visit? The fans need to police themselves better but the club need to start imposing sanctions on clubs that are punishing us at every opportunity. Liverpool should have a vastly reduce allocation next season but were just not standing up to other clubs.
Dortmund were offered 7,000 tickets for Madrid this season and City were offered 5,000 taking 3,500. United were offered 4,000 as Madrid know they can sell the tickets themselves as its now the knockout stages. I haven't got any issues with this but I bet United have still given Madrid 3/4 off K stand upper, instead off reducing the allocation. The same thing has happened when we have played Celtic and Rangers, United have asked for the Old Firm away ends only to be denied and not impose smaller allocations when they visit us.
The fans have to show more respect away from home especially at half time but the club need to start fighting fire with fire.
