Roberto Mancini and two members of City’s first team squad will be on the panel at the latest Fans’ Forum.

The venue is the Commonwealth Suite at the City of Manchester Stadium and tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis with a maximum of four per application.

To apply, please email roadshow@mcfc.co.uk. As ever demand is expected to be high so send your request in sooner rather than later.

Doors open at 7pm and a signing session will commence at 7.30pm followed by a Q&A with the panel from 8pm to 9pm.

Was good fun the last one I went to. Vincent Kompany came across very well, Zabba was funny and said he'd kick Tevez (played for them at the time) and Hughes was very relaxed and joked about playing golf. Cook was Cook ;-)

I would change the order myself. The signing session took way longer than 30mins and ate into the discussion time. I would do the signing at the end of the Q&A.

hmm, that's the same day as MIPIM in Cannes. Now am I reading too much into this or is it possibly not a coincidence?

With these, do you have to give your question before hand and they give you the nod for later (like question time).
If not what do they do if they get asked something that they really would rather not answer. They cant just then avoid it as this would show that there is a problem in some way.

Nope you just put your hand up and wait, and wait and wait to get the microphone. You can ask whatever you want, although they hardly ever answer the question directly and skirt around a response for a while and that even goes for easy questions let alone the hard ones.

It's an open forum with questions being taken from the audience. Questions asked in the past =

To Pearce - "Why do you spend the full 90 minutes shouting from the technical area?"
Answer - "Because thats what I get paid to do"

To Sven - "Why do you pick Petrov, cos I think he is crap"
Answer - "Cos I think he is one of our best players"

To Hughes - "Who is Berti?"
Answer - was very long winded and not sure I know yet who Mr Berti ever was or why he had a contract with us.

All good fun though and the honesty depends on the manager at the time. Bobby is good with the media, so guess he will be simular with fans, doubt Cook will be at this one as may be in Cannes

me and SoF went to this. It was a great night actually. It's in one of the lounges so you can have a few ales too.

Kompany and Zabaleta were excellent and Zabba's bird was primo!

Perhaps one of you could ask how on earth then can justify charging £46 for a ticket for the derby? They won't be getting my support or my son's at these ridiculous prices!!

It's actually a really good evening,plenty of banter and its good to get close to the players etc.

I have a tip....use your eyes and read above

let's see....I say it's good, so does MRM, so does LAHAD and Sweeny certainly gives the impression that it was entertaining last time around

Sure you don't have some of the board "heavyweights" chipping in too...but I'm not too sure some of them know how to get to Manchester anymore
