On Wednesday 1 March at 6pm (UK time) I’ll be doing another of my history talks online. This one will be one hour of discussion on Joshua Parlby and the launch of Manchester City FC in 1894. I will talk about Parlby, his background, the launch of City and the development of the club which was established with the aim of creating a club to represent the whole of Manchester. Sign up to listen to this free event where I will explain how Ardwick died, City was created and the steps Parlby took to get City into the League. I’ll be explaining how significant this was and who the key players were, plus pointing out the role Queen Victoria played in it. There are some myths out there about the club’s birth as MCFC so come and listen to the facts. This hour will include the opportunity to ask questions as I’m keen to hear your thoughts on these formative years for the club.

The event will be live on Zoom on 1/3/23 at 6pm and a link will be sent to all those who have registered for the event beforehand (probably earlier that day). THIS WILL BE EMAILED OUT SEPARATELY AND NOT VIA THE EVENTBRITE WEBSITE.

The plan is to present the facts and history of the birth of the club and its development as Manchester City during the 1890s. Dispelling myths and revealing the latest research and evidence of what actually happened.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions about this critical period for football development in Manchester. Everyone can register now.

Due to demand I’ve increased capacity on Wednesday’s free online talk about the launch of MCFC in 1894. You can register for the talk here:


I‘ll be talking about the visionary who promoted the club, Josh Parlby, and the steps that led to the establishment of the new club that was created to represent the whole of Manchester. I’ll also be explaining about Queen Victoria’s role and more in it all.

Thanks
 
For those who have booked on tomorrow’s talk I’ll be emailing a link to all those registered about 1 hour before it’s due to start. Check your email accounts (Last talk Eventbrite emails gave some the impression that the talk would be accessed via them but it’s not, itll be direct from me).

I‘ve increased capacity again so there a few more tickets available if anyone fancies joining us at 6pm on Wednesday. Details:


Cheers
