I was in the Rangers end behind the goal. Some atmosphere.
Normally, all the United singing comes from the Stretford end and sometimes spreads around the stadium, but songs were starting in the quadrants and upper tiers. You'd normally only see corporates and tourists up there, but these areas were bouncing. At half-time, the concourse was massively dominated by Northern Irish men, who were very very drunk. They were drinking pints of Jack Daniels and coke!
It wasn't until Rangers scored that I realised how many Rangers fans were all over the stadium. The ones starting all the United chants were now going nuts. At least 500 of them in the quadrant to my right and another 500 scattered about in the tier behind me, I looked down the SAF stand and there were lots of people jumping up and down. They were everywhere.
I didn't see any bother or scrapping, as they were in large numbers too. But I have heard that there was some proper brawls in the Stretford end.
I was also at the Galatasaray game, last season, and the same blocks of corporate seats were full of Rangers fans this time. The club are happily selling tickets to the highest bidders, regardless of public safety.
