I think its a wonderful opportunity for kids & parents to get a close up glimpse of their heroes & to appreciate their acheivements whilst dreaming about what they might be in the years to come. I think it can have an amazing effect on youngsters who probably wont go as its on late or cant afford a ticket to the party later on but can join in from a place only minutes from their homes....bring it on.It's a good job I've got that tin hat on. I remember pissing myself when liverpool did a parade for the fa and league cup double in 2022. I worry that what we've achieved, as great as it is, will not be enough to line the streets from town to the Etihad and fill the coop arena. It feels like we're setting ourselves up for a fail.

Does sound more like a Pep goodbye than a parade for the 2 cups, especially with the thing at the co-op

We still have a good chance of winning the league also. Celtic just came from way behind to do it.Tin hat on but I think we're at a stage now where we should only do this sort of stuff for league title wins and champions league wins.
The 2011 FA cup parade was from town to the stadium so you could say this is the original routeFirst one that’s not been on the usual route?

To mark the achievements of Manchester City men's, women's and academy teams during the 25/26 season, we can confirm that an open top bus parade will take place on Monday 25 May, followed by 'The After Party' a special celebration event at Co-op Live.
With build up starting in the City's Northern Quarter from 16:00 (UK), there will be a kick-off moment with all teams at the beginning of the parade before buses travel through Ancoats and on to Ashton New Road. The parade will then come to a close with a final celebratory moment outside the Etihad Stadium at The Colin Bell Stand Reception.
'The After Party' is a special separate event which will take place at the Co-op Live, the UK's flagship live entertainment area, after the parade.
With live music, entertainment, player interviews from both men's and women's teams and special guests it's sure to be an evening to remember!
Fans can join the celebrations along various points of the parade route to show their support or can purchase tickets for the event at Co-op Live. The full parade will also be shown inside the venue for those attending Co-op Live.
Tickets for 'The After Party' are priced from £12 for adults, with other ticketing categories available. Tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis, giving preference to men's and women's Season Ticket Members (GA and Hospitality) and Cityzens Matchday and Junior Members,
Anymore caveats? Have to of attended Wembley for both finals?

Or when our most successful ever manager leaves…Tin hat on but I think we're at a stage now where we should only do this sort of stuff for league title wins and champions league wins.
Think that decision will dictate how many people are there.
It’s not just the men’s team though is it. Apparently the women’s team and youth cup winners will have their own bus too.It's a good job I've got that tin hat on.

You're lookin at three, possibly four trophies (maybe five with the youth trophy too) on board the open top buses, so you can understand why the club would want to show them off ... and try stoppin' the women celebrating !Tin hat on but I think we're at a stage now where we should only do this sort of stuff for league title wins and champions league wins.
I'd advise any rags to avoid the area , they won't like City showing off all that silverware !

We are at that stage. It is very very obvious this is because Pep is leaving and it’s a celebration / send off for him as well as the 2 domestic cups. From the clubs perspective if we win the league great and the parade is already booked. If we don’t they’ve pre given people notice of the send off they want for Pep and framed it as this. They won’t announce it until we are mathematically out of the title race and Pep will want Stones and Bernardo to get their flowers whereas if it’s announced he’s off it will completely overshadow it.

That was special. Remember city scarves tied to the cup instead of ribbons and started from the town hall.The 2011 FA cup parade was from town to the stadium so you could day this is the original route

What is it about it being at the co-op, that points to Pep leaving?It’s ending up at the co-op arena there so many little signs that points to pep leaving! Maybe I’ve beens drawn into the media hype train of peps going!
What would be a suitable venue for it to then not mean Pep's leaving?It’s ending up at the co-op arena there so many little signs that points to pep leaving! Maybe I’ve beens drawn into the media hype train of peps going!
