What a great lad!

What people need to realise is it's even more impressive than what we see.
The club get involved not because of any high minded, PR driven ambitions but because we, the supporters show the way.
So much is driven by us the fans but crucially backed by the club.
The Sierra Leonne work started with fans, and is now fully supported by the club.
The Red and Black and Neil Young campaign were started by the fans, then backed by the club.
In smaller ways it happens as well.
The Supporters Xmas Parties so brilliantly pulled together by the ladies of Bluemoon, was exactly that, a supporters Xmas party, backed by the club.
The ASD day I pulled together started when someone on here wanted to know more about Autism because they had a kid with a diagnosis, another poster mentioned my work in that field, and within weeks we decided an open day would be good. The club got on board, it happened, but it was started and driven by US FANS.
I am not talking down City here I am talking them up because they listen and watch and are willing to work with US, inclusively.
And I know there is more to come soon as well. (cannot say yet sorry)
That is so far removed from the way City are portrayed it makes we watch to scream in frustration but the club are not pushing the agena they are doing a great job for all the right reasons.
I know some people took the 'pish' a little when my original Tipping Point thread went live but I do happen to know a bot about this and City are changing the way football will be seen and being at City is more than about money for all of us, fans, CEO, owner and now even the players see that.
Manchester City are the most community focussed, charitable club out there, end of.
