Barcelona - Nou Camp 08:57 - Aug 24 with 8890 views | Juzzie | As we’re in the vicinity I’m taking my boy to see the Barcelona v Man City game tonight. He’ll be wearing his new QPR away shirt, I wonder if he’ll be the first! I’ve been to loads of grounds around England (and one in Scotland) and quite a few neutral non-QPR games too but never seen a match abroad. Anyone been? Any tips/pointers etc? | | | | |

Barcelona - Nou Camp on 00:47 - Aug 25 with 1308 views | Juzzie | Just back (1.30am local time) Yeah, amazing ground but can see why it needs bringing in the 21st century. The whole place just felt like a money machine, maybe it was the occasion being a friendly but just never got that nerve tingling feeling of being at a game, 91,000 people too, my second biggest game after the Milk Cup Final. They literally had one song repeated about every 10 minutes. I couldn’t fathom out where was deemed the home end, no ultras or anythin* like that. They outdid Man Utd in terms of it being a tourist trap. I reckon genuine home fans were probably outnumbered 2:1 Until player salaries come under control I just can’t see how they can revamp the ground. It’s criminal they are in such a perilous financial state when you see the income being generated. 3-3 and the football seemed almost suicidal at times. Again, maybe because that was due to the occasion. Certainly made for an entertaining game. Hope the City player who had extensive treatment at the end us ok. | | | |

Barcelona - Nou Camp on 08:52 - Aug 25 with 1171 views | nix | I went once to the Nou. What a team it was then: Messi, Puyol, who was playing in RM for some reason and was brilliant, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Yaya Toure, Maxwell, Pique. It was a good atmosphere but I think our singing is much better here. | | | |
