I'm surprised United, mainly Gill, are doing the right thing for fans and fighting our case, we've had allocations cut from every ground bar 2 or 3. They're trying to give us 5,000 when it's way short of the 7,100 we're allocated to due to the 15% for away fans. GMP aren't too bothered I don't think as they'll just lock everyone in after the game for a good hour, plus it's early Sunday K.O so pubs aren't open that long before the game and wont be open much longer after.

Yeah I can see why they would be annoyed at having the allocation cut, but surely if you are allowed to do it then it would be a touch hypocritical if City weren't allowed to? My personal view is that both clubs should just give the full allocation that the FA outlines, 15%.
