City's New Initiative

[blueparrot]

Getting people to walk is a great idea. If this helps publicise it, that's great too. If people want to join in they can if they don't they won't . Think a lot will though especially families. It isn't 1980 anymore.

Bloody hell they'll have a job getting kids to walk a couple of miles, the majority don't walk to school but catch a bus or get a lift.

Half of parents in society wouldn’t even let their kids join in with this.

There will be BBQ's on the car park going on before long if this sort of thing continues.

I am all in favour of a brass band.

Is this in the stadium?

As long as they know Blue Moon!

No they can walk round the outside of the stadium before the match, or stick them in City square. Pie, pint and a brass band. It is warmer at City square than it is in Mary D's as well.

I realise it's a one off to publicise it but I despair at the people at our club who seem to think this is what the fans want
Face painting
Blue Led lanterns
Brass bands

It's a no from me let's just go back to being a football club and forget all this pre fabricated crap

Having worked closely with Manchester City Council, the improved designated walking route from the city centre to the Etihad will relaunch with a special sustainable walk to the match before the Everton game.



Join us at the meeting point at 4.15pm on Pollard Street opposite the Ibis hotel, with the walk beginning at 4:25pm. Mr Wilson’s Second Liner’s Brass band will lead the way as will our two matchday presenters. There will be an opportunity to hold one of our walk to the match flags or blue LED lanterns and you will be able to get your game face on with one of our face painters who will also be present.

This is clearly part of our 'istree, if we can ever be allowed to have one, and those fans who went to Maine Road in the fifties were treated to a rendition of all sorts of musicality from the Beswick Prize Brass Band!

Have they organised a walk back starting at around 80 mins into the game?

Community football. Love it. Football is not only about so-called tattoo-bearing fans (lol) shouting atrocities at players in the ground or on ... forums.

It'd be far better than the shite City sell.
