Eastlands
And our detractors call it Wastelands!Blue Mooner said:City of Manchester Stadium for me every time. This is our City and this is Manchester's football stadium. Send the message to the world that we are the ONLY team from Manchester.
Eastlands sounds parochial, doesn't even exist it's just a made up name no doubt started by the rags - it just gives the rags ammunition to call it wastelands.

TBH it get's on my nerves. It seems we're the only football club that has 'two names' for it's stadium across the media.(TV, Radio, Newspapers, etc)
I don't ever recall old Trafford, Anfield or any other football ground being called by any other name than it's original name in the media.(feel free)
This being the case, it's about time the club issued a polite directive to all media outlets to call our stadium the 'City Of Manchester Stadium' and not (fucking) Eastlands.(take note Sky!)
Can a MOD please start a poll off. (not got permission)
Choices.
1. City Of Manchester Stadium
2. Eastlands.
