Taken this from another Chelsea website:
Agree with you about the tickets, there is no way we sold 21000 tickets. There were hundreds of mancs or Russian mancs in the Chelsea end at both corner flags. I reckon there was max 15000 genuine Chelsea fans in the ground.
The bars around moscow was embarrassing, I didn't find one which was not mobbed with utd fans singing that irritating Ronaldo song. Were there any Chelsea pubs? I didn't find one.
Was it just me or did anyone else think that we were outnumbered by the Mancs 2 to 1. The stadium, from where I was to the left of the goal, appeared to be 2 thirds Mancs, we even had a big block of them to the left of our end and lots dotted about. The Russians near me seemed to be singing Spartak Moscow songs.
The flags are getting a bit old hat now, is there any reason they can't vary the design ie CL or Carling Cup version?.
there was even a small group of Chelsea fans singing 'There's no Chelsea in Moscow' which was hard to hear...
... but they had a point... inside the ground I was surrounded by russians who couldnt speak a word of English, where I was in section 5 - top right of our end there must have been more russians in there than English Chelsea... which made it very difficult to try and get an atmosphere goin!!!
Look I was directly behind the goal up the back and one at least 3 occasions 3 different Chelsea fans got up (loads of people actually siting down)and were screaming at everyone to 'start f****** singing ' , two young lads next to me were going mad at the bloody russians who were in the majority at the back to make some noise. I wish it wasnt true I really do. It did remind me of the CC final , even during the rest breaks in xtra time all I could hear was united
