The 'ultras', many of whom weren't watching the game or whose vision was blocked by waving flags, appeared to cheer on behalf of the crowd. In addition, the away fans, tiny in number, were secreted in a plexi-glass pen in the gods and almost out of sight. I was obviously disappointed with the experience.
