The last question... if it was a choice between Maine Road how it looked from 1923-1950s then I’d choose that, but Maine Road by the time we left in 2003 had been ruined.

Done. Anybody else just call it City's ground?

Yep that's what I put... I'm off to City is the line.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Thanks. So before it was called the Etihad, did City fans not call it the City of Manchester Stadium?

Never.

No, maybe the CoMS in text for short but never heard it called that full name by anyone

 

[Fraserja]

No, not many at all. The most common name was Eastlands - I'm pretty sure it was widely used by the media too. The Blue Camp was used by a few - a take on Barcelona 's stadium (Barca were our first opponents too).

Thanks, haha I like the blue camp name!

i have completed the survey, but the questions on page 8 are bollocks. the answers are more nuanced than choosing one or the other and would require at least 200 words to explain.

Regarding the questions on page 8, it is just a preference, whether you prefer the old style ground or modern bowl type ground. The same goes for the name, it's a simple question. If you wouldn't mind explaining it in 200 words, I would be happy to listen!

Done good luck

Cheers!

 

[Fraserja]

Done. Good luck, just should have been a third option or opinion on Q8.

Thanks, what should the third option have been, City of Manchester Stadium?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry, I couldn't really go that detailed because I'm having to do this for about 30 odd clubs. But you're saying that your overriding feeling of Maine road is ruined slightly as it has changed over time?

Completed ..good luck

Nice one, Cheers!
