Hello all. I live in the U.A.E and am a national of the country. I will be going to the game tomorrow to support my national side - to little effect really - and whilst I have no particular love of Man City, whilst browsing through their official website, I noticed a pretty big mistake had been made. I don't seem to be able to start a thread so I thought this was the best place to post it.

It says over there that the game is to be played at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium. This is completely wrong and a simple mistake to make. The game is actually being played at Zayed Sports City. It says so on my ticket and it says so here as well:

Didn't really know if the mistake will make any difference at all but I do know that about 300 City fans are flying to the game and I would be a bit pissed off if it was me and I went to the wrong stadium. There has even been some confusion locally as to where the game is being held. I didn't really see the point in emailing the club, with the game tomorrow, it'd be unlikely that they get it in time. I google City forums and this comes up so I figure this is the biggest one on the net and there's bound to be someone on here who can do something about it?
On a side note, I think there's a very good chance that there will be more United supporters there tomorrow than City fans. I know quite a few friends going in full United kit just to wind some people up.
