The mancityfans.net football forum

Very excited to see city play in the flesh for the first time in 4 years. How much has changed! We were a scrappy contender back then, now 4 trophies later every team in the world would rather not see us on their fixture list. I know it's only preseason friendly but it's what most of us Yanks have to settle for. Pretty cool venue for a footy match and ends up being the top 2 last year. Anyone else going?

I've been receiving emails all week about the trip from the Mad Hatters to the game.Seems like they will get a good old reception. Apparently the Trophies from last season will also be on display on Tuesday in Modells Sport shop in Manhattan. 6.30 pm four players will be signing autographs , photos etc.

we have four of us going, my bin dipper brother in law and the missus.
i've heard Yankee stadium is not ideal for football... we'll see how they cover the infield.

I'm not looking forward to playing the champions,gonna be a rough match for us.

True, but at least no-one will get bitten. Have to wait for the champions league for that!

As a form of respect for their trophy winning achievements last season, will we have to observe any pre-match, commemorative service(s) [again] for the unfortunate '96' ??

Of course i'd imagine we will have to do a 96 minute guard of honour so they can ring their trophies onto the pitch.

It's not too bad. I went to see City vs. Chelsea there last year and the pitch wasn't terrible.





Tevez's last game for us!

guaranteed brenda will link hillsborough with 9/11 and probably the titanic disaster as well

It will be a unique and historic occasion when two reigning Premier League champions clash.

Word on the street in dipper land is scousepool have already beat us and are also in the Champions League Final ........

96?

won't be going to the match, even though i am working in the bronx for the summer, and not too far away from yankee stadium. regardless, plan to head to the mad hatter to watch. should be fun!

I'll be there ... i'll feel doubly dirty entering yankee stadium, and also sitting with a group of liverpool supporters. There'll be an everton fan there as well, so even though the conversation won't be much, it should be good entertainment.

Does anyone know if we can see the game in the UK and what time it's actually on - can't believe it's not being shown??

Sky Sports are showing it from midnight.

Cheers mate. Will get some scoops in for a late one!

are liverpool parading their premier league trophy before or after the game?

I'm gonna guess no, but fans will be able to read all about their magnificent title winning trophy laden season in their book though. What a piece of history.
