Does anybody know if the light show will be before or after the game? I can’t make my mind up based on Jack’s wording:

“He will receive the lifetime season ticket presented by the Bell family and signed keepsakes, the send-off on the pitch with a lightshow before plans for lasting immortalisations are announced.”

Hope he doesn’t try letting one of his mates use the card when he’s out in America
 
Does he have to attend 10 matches per season in person in order to retain the lifetime season ticket?

Say city don't say anything to Kdb the season ends Kdb contract ends don't want Kdb to renew his own contract without city? Come on how can Kev decide really when it's not in his hands!? Pep says a lot things that are not true..

Really disappointed this tribute is post game and as such means I'll miss it. Too old to hang around for a late night rush back to Piccadilly for a train that might or might not run.
Add in the co-op and its just not viable.
In truth I'm not sure what they could do. Pre match presentations have a horrible way of backfiring, too much emotion, and its the last chance so...
Suppose we could do something completely separate of this evening but would have nowhere near the numbers Kevin deserves.
Sad.

This is a rearranged fixture don’t forget. The plans would have been in place, most likely, for after the game when it was an afternoon kick off.

Thankyou for the amazing memories Kevin. Some of your vision was legendary. A true City great.
Is it not time for Jack Grealish and Phil Foden to step up and replace him?

The time to step up was this season and both have been nowhere near it. I guess that's for another thread and shouldn't detract from what will be a great send off for one of the best ever.
 
I don't think KDB should start tonight, but being the club captain, he will

I hate saying it, but KDB does not offer anything to the team, his passing and vision have been shocking for a long time, we are carrying him in games and leaving him up front, The Old KDB would be wanting the ball in midfield or just off the winger, That's his game and gives him the ball with enough time to spot the pass.

For the good of the club and his teammates, leave him on the bench tonight, Give him 20 minutes if we need a goal or the last 5 minutes to kill the game

I am under no illusion De Bruyne is able to compete at a level we want to be at, but he has actually been quite central to a lot of the latter season solid form (as well as some stinkers) and he did create 3 of our best chances in the cup final. I think he should play from the start and come off to thunderous applause on 70. I think he has offered up stuff at well below his best but then the team has looked well below its best.

And then it's over.

But what the team needs is the Old KDB to find the likes of Haaland or somebody else to score from his amazing passing, without that, the team struggles and is under pressure and panic in front of goal, Many times the pass from KDB results in a tip-in for the player,

I think you're crazy. He's still one of our best players. Almost every single player has under performed consistently this season, Kev included. Going after him because he's 'old' is unfair. Foden has been monumentally worse than KDB this season, why not ship him out too
