Manchester City...More Than A Football Club?

quite a few continental teams offer this. Barcelona have a lot of associated sports under their name from basketball to rugby.

I wouldn't mind if the signed up Sale

Don't we already have some form of agreement with them - I seem to remember if they had got through to the semi-final of the heineken cup they were going to play at CoMS

It would be nice to see Citeh branch out and follow the lead of a lot of other Central European countries like Spain and Italy. A basketball team or maybe even dare I say (baseball??) okay forget that one!!


As for more than a football club, are you kidding-- City is the passion of my life!!

Save for the occasional dysfunctional coupling....

Whilst away on holiday I briefly came across some German athletics, and noticed that Bayer Leverkusen had their own athletics team, along with football and other sports sides integrated into the club. Real Madrid and Barcelong both have similar set-ups as do other clubs, and it got me thinking, should City expand into other sports and make ourselves a massive name in world sport?

We could have an official and fully integrated ladies team with female youth development to promote the ladies game in England. We could buy Sportcity and use the athletics stadium for our own athletics club, among other things. There's no central Manchester Rugby League side, and we could help out Salford City Reds or build our own side with a rebranding and investment, the same can be said for Rugby Union.

What do you think? Do you think it would aid our development into a household name and a massive club with many revenue streams and a club for the community, or should we just focus on being a football club and become an elitist organisation?

Interesting!!!!!!!!!! I smell a rat

I think city should create their own freestyle football team with an academy :)

If you are as blue as I am, fine. Apologies. However, most blues know that is a word mostly avoided, especially on places like this.

Already so much more than a football team to me. A cruel mistress, a wife, a daughter. An errant child.

I'd fucking love City to build up an ice hockey club. I used to go to watch Manchester Storm a lot when they were at the Nynex. Organise their fixtures, as far as possible, to alternate with City's home matches and that would be brilliant. As long as they don't the same mistake that happened to Storm originally; thinking they could charge football prices for a game which hasn't got a strong foothold in this country. If they charge cinema prices, they will get big crowds again. I can remember over 17,000 one match which is pretty staggering.

I was at the storm when they set the European attendance record... 17,245 at Nynex
