The thing I don't understand is why they let so few away fans in - that really makes the atmosphere.
Probably the best atmosphere I have witnessed at a game was an fa cup semi final at Old Trafford.
It was Spurs/ Arsenal so I was a neutral but I was right on the halfway line and as the crowd was 50/50 it was superb hearing the singing /cheering moving from one end to the other.
Many time you can barely hear the away fans.

Was that the 2-0 away and win 3-0 at home? Absolutely mental night, bizarrely the last match I ever went to with my Dad, as I'd just turned 16 and was determined to be independent afterwards franki68 said:

I've a pal who is an Arsenal fan, was at the Emirates last night and said it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
Cologne fans really boisterous, no prawn sandwiches, corporates or familys just German blokes, letting off flares and marching round the streets with scarves tied around their wrists.
Proper supporters he said, not nanny state stuff.
Football is far too sanitised now,
this is impressive by the german invadersCologne fans really boisterous, no prawn sandwiches, corporates or familys just German blokes, letting off flares and marching round the streets with scarves tied around their wrists.

Copied this from the Arsenal thread. I'm not advocating racism and violence but i do feel that many football supporters see going to a game now as akin to a theatre visit or a trip to a theme park and I'm sad it's become like that.
"Typical pathetic sanitized modern arsenal fans.
The Koln fans did nothing wrong, all the idiots saying it should be called off/unsafe/intimidating, no it wasn't. I flogged my ticket (maybe to a German) but i spoke to a few who went and just said it was a typical German fan experience, supporting their team loudly and boisterously. no unsavory elements.
Yes they were diving over stewards to get with there mates but that was the only trouble bar the odd scuffle amongst themselves outside. no trouble with the arsenal fans, and most were very pleasant.
the modern emirates fan being intimidated/scared by this is a sad reflection of what our once great club has become. the same cretins who facilitate wenger still being in charge."
