The mancityfans.net football forum

Young Natalie has been a bit upset by their behaviour last night. they just don't get us do they:



"About an hour before kick-off she tweeted: "Just watched spanish police batter city fans. A big group of about 100 of us outside a bar opposite the stadium and they tore in battons up.

"No one doing any harm at all. Very scary stuff. So out of order.

"Been going football 20 years never seen anything like it. On my life city fans doing nothing but singing and having fun.

"Women, kids, teenagers, all treated like scum. So out of order. Am so upset. The bar was so busy people were standing on the street outside. All innocent and friendly. No warning, no one asking us to move.

"The police just got there batons out and moved people along by smacking them."

City officials were aware of the claims but did not comment last night."

Very apt to see the police behaving like this, just a week after the Hillsoborough findings were announced.

I didn't come across anything like this at all throughout the day in Madrid. Someone did try to pick pocket me tho

Maybe my wallet or something luckily a mate of mine bounced the gypo away

Amazing that they can still get away with this shit. My mate said he wasn't involved but there were a fair few people who had been basically assaulted by the Police with batons in a pub close to the stadium. Apparently they were indiscriminate as well, not picky when it came to hitting women and kids.

I do hope the club put a complaint in.

I arrived at the bar just after it had happened. According to the batman it started when a city fan got into an altercation with a Spanish woman

thankfully i left about 10 minutes before it happened but someone on our trip said a guy was unconsious on the floor and when she went to put him in the recovery position got hit and told to move away so had to leave him where he was
