Don’t like the name with the old Ardwick AFC badge on the door.

It does my head in how the club don’t understand:
St Marks became Gorton AFC (and they weren’t the same thing unlike what the club think!)
Gorton AFC became Ardwick AFC
But Ardwick AFC did not become Manchester City!

Manchester City were founded on 16th April 1894 while Ardwick AFC were still a club. City were founded as a club with no forerunners at all, while some people involved in the formation of City were involved in either St Marks, Gorton AFC or Ardwick AFC (or all three), we were a club made from scratch.

You know when I went on the spurs forum about their stadium there wasn't a load of moaning bastards banging on about prices and names and whatever.

I like it. I like the club did it, I like that it makes money (even if it is off the fans) that go to the club.

Yeah it looks nice and is a bit quirky but Ultimately it’s just yet another section of the ground reserved for people other than your average fan with no doubt extortionate fees.

£5.50 for a pint of Trooper?

Yep it’s yet another bit of the ground for corporates and people with lots of money.
Posters will defend it, but year by year more the of the ground is becoming corporate and thousands will never be able to go into some of these sections - ie let’s get rid of the poor people

We don’t matter.

Soriano would be happy if the lot of us could be replaced with someone who’d pay £200 more of our seasoncards if it meant he could show off his record revenue figures.

Quick question,
if AFC Ardwick had no real connection with City how is it City's first ground is Hyde Road ?
Didn't Ardwick go bust and reformed as Manchester City ?

Ardwick were still a club playing their own games when City had been formed and were playing games ourselves.

@Gary James has explained this previously either in talks, in print or on here.
