I wonder if that photo (OP’s one) will be added to the Peoples’ Museum down the road, where there’s a Temperance Movement exhibition.. They’d have loved it as an example for their cause..
Footie fans from all over the world in Manchester on a regular basis.
Only the Rangers fans behave like that.
Not on that scale – roughly 150000 fans all going to their first European final in years and years. Perfect storm of a few violent ****, way too much booze and poor planning from the council. They’ve been back since and everything went off without a hitch.
Me too. I was heading North up the M6 to Carlisle and the number of coaches stopped on the hard shoulder so neanderthals in football shirts could urinate on the verge, tinny in hand, was staggering.
They’ve been back since and everything went off without a hitch.
They corralled them in Wiggan before the match though. Hard to cause trouble when you’ve got to be somewhere miles away 3 hours before the match which means far less booze and no one on the streets.
