These games are always a laugh anyway, I'm looking forward to it and hopefully Dzeko scores a couple to get his confidence back up.
In the Arndale today and a large group of excitable Eastern Europeans walked past me,all wearing City gear and probably an example of the extra support to which you refer.

6 weeks ago Bluemoon was awash with "fans" saying they would not pay £50 to watch City as they stood on the kippax when we were shit. Well surely they will all be in attendance tonight, looking forward to their reports on here in the morning.
