I really want to see City on an open-topped bus drive through the city. I have ended up with a ticket to the ground to see what exactly? Anybody know? And I'm going to miss out on seeing the bus too. I get the impression that there'll be 20,000 in the stadium and 60,000 on the streets. Seems to me that the real party will be out on the streets like it always has been traditionally for these parades. So, why are we having a do at the ground?
I think we should just go with the flow. The club aren't saying you have to be in the ground at a certain time so you could probably do both. The reason everyone wants to be in the stadium as it's a big party. The players will be out on the pitch, probably on a stage. They'll probably be music, fireworks have been promised at the end, special guests. Just generally sounds like a big party. AC Milan did it recently after a game when Boateng did his Michael Jackson moonwalk.
I'm sure a lot of people will be going to Albert Square then heading to the stadium. You could potentially go and stand on Ashton New Road and then wander into the stadium after the bus has gone past.
