The City Circle
Before the game yesterday I went into the market stall / bar at the ground before the game and came across a stand flogging 'The City Circle'
Apparently you can pay £60 (steel), £95 (glass) or £395 (bronze) for a 'circle' that can be etched with your personal message. Oh and you and you also have to cough up another £70 for a replica disc & certificate.
The circles will then be used for: 'The words used in the four verses of the song Blue Moon will form a giant circle around the stadium. We plan to install approximately 40,000 personalised discs into slabs of granite at the Etihad stadium to make up the letters and words of the song. The Etihad Stadium is set to be transformed when thousands of supporter messages, inscribed onto individual discs, are connected in a giant circle to spell out the words in the four verses of Blue Moon'
Good marketing or a gimmick?
