Funny things that have happened to you at The Etihad.

Or for that matter Maine Road...........

Around 12 months ago I bought new City home shirt in the Etihad superstore, and took it upstairs to have Bell 8 put on the back of it.

So far so good...

However I was amazed when the charming young girl doing the job behind the counter said to me "How do you spell Bell?"

Now, in her defence, I appreciate she has to be careful because once the letters have been applied it is too late and an expensive item could be ruined.....on the other hand the "King" is a City legend and there can't be that many ways to spell Bell...:)

Any more?

Years ago queuing for tickets for hours at the ticket office at Maine Road. Half way down the queue outside the main entrance. Couple of kids from the queue having a kick about to relieve the boredom. Car pulls up and parks in a space in the middle of their makeshift pitch and Colin Bell gets out of the car. One of the kids pipes up "FFS, do you work here or summat"

Her dad invented "Door Knockers" and was presented with a NO-Bell prize.

Asking how to spell Bell isn't her being thick, it's standard procedure for shirt printing, covers her back from indecisive idiots and people who can't spell.

This. It could have been that your last name was "Behl" or something like that and so she has to ask.

Karma? Anyone would think smoking is illegal! I could understand your frustration if he was smoking out the bogs but surely you can get fresh air out in the stands? I don't care what anyone says when you've been on the beer nearly 2 hours is a long time to go without a fag.
