Depends, on times in the past in Manchester, there's been IRA Chants etc, in a city which was bombed by the IRA.

all depends what away fans turn up for us.

I went to Keanes testimonial and although it was a friendly we tok thousands and had a great time. Cant see that being any different just because th SHAME dont know how to have a party!! Celtic fans will do what they always do and do best support their beloved team and have a fuckin great time doing it!!!

heard a couple of fights inside the ground with celtic suppoerters in the manure end, and at a few pubs outside.

yeah but that would have been a real minority, maybe 5-10.

Not 10,000 like the other half

Not many MU fans are local these days they will all be heading back to Surrey after the game lol, Nah I dont think there will be any trouble because we will all want to show the Mancunians how different we are to the Rangers fans.

[studatelya]

we have the best fans in the world no problem for us

[King Nicky]

a really want a ticket :)

[Border Bhoy]

Will it be possible to get a ticket from Celtic without buying a Thos Cook Package I am a season ticket holder and I am registered for away tickets?

[KK-Bhoy]

IRA chanting would be rather naïve.

[ChampionsElect]

Man U hate us, with a passion. And the last time their was a fight after the game, near the community centre. So I doubt we will get red carpet treatment.

[KK-Bhoy]

All "Battle of Britains" will have a bit of trouble.

[RafaelScheidt]

yeah what are the chances of getting tickets if i don't have a season ticket and what would be the best way of going about getting one

Went into a Wetherspoons in Glasgow city centre before we played the Mancs 2 years ago. There must have been at least 300 of the Mancs MIB firm in the place & not one under the age of 30. Hadnt seen a crew like it since the 80's. Wasn't any real trouble as such but the atmosphere was pretty fuckin intimidating. Coppers came in, shut the pub, & moved the Mancs on at about 5pm. Went to the Gallowgate for a beer before kick-off & was told there had been bother there earlier on. The Football Intelligence Unit were filming people all over the place before the game & seemed pretty much on top & stopping anything major from kicking-off. Can see it all being the same again tbh. To the Mancs firm, we're just another team & another set of fans to try & turn over.

I think it would be niave to expect a Roy Keane testimonial style occasion. The people here are still fucking fuming about May and like it or not, the Celtic support are considered part of the 'old firm'.

I suggest that you dont hang around the piccadilly area all day getting pissed, and definetley dont go drinking there at night. Thats when shit starts kicking off.

I recommed going to Levenshulme. Its a rough-ish little area which is bordered by Longsight (where there are a couple of shootings a week) but it is considered the 'irish area' and has a few good bars and a lot of celtic fans. This is where fans will be most welcome and I reckon it would turn into quite a good party if a lot of people went there.

Anyway if anyones got any questions about a certain area or whatever let a brother know IM HERE TO HELP, IM THE AMBASSADOR!!!

Dont think there will be any bother. Me and my old man booked with thomas cook their. Coach down and match ticket for £95. Not bad!
