Shallow marketing type bull shit is a necessary evil these days in a commercial world if we are to compete in these areas.

Nothing hacks me off more than arriving at Mcr Airport and the first thing you see is Rooney's fat ugly mush on the Turkish Airlines bill boards.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining. My mate (who is also a big rag fan) has just got back from Abu Dhabi. He flew with Etihad. Not only did he find him self on the 'CITY' branded plane, he also had to stare at a picture of the team on board holding the FA cup aloft.

Said it nearly ruined his holiday.

karma I'd say!

The truth of the matter is like it or lump it, this kind of campaign is the future of City.
The sheik didnt buy into City to get the word out how good our pies are- he wants to build us into a a global brand and this type of stuff is what does it. Consistently coming up with new ideas (some maybe better than others) about how to keep Citys name in the media and top of social sites.

I personally think weve got one of the best marketing teams around. Not many complained when the smacked up the 'welcome to Manchester' poster did they?
Commercialism is the sacrifice of any club or brand wanting to be in the position we aiming for. Without the exposure/revenue from this type of marketing we dont grow as a brand - if we dont grow as a brand we dont attract the best players - if we dont attract he best players were back where we were before. A club with the tallest floodlights in the league.

Wow, kind of embarrassing that people here are few weeks ago threw their toys out of their pram.

I like the marketing stuff City does. The rags have for years been light years ahead when it came to slogans and marketing their club, and it has done their accounts well.

I also like the pre' and half time stuff, it keeps people and especially my nephews entertained. Football is also entertainment these days.

The old football fans probably want to keep the game as it was in past - get their few mins before kick off, get a crappy pie and pint at half time, sit down few mins before kick off again, then go home at end as quick as possible.

As we'll be getting more fans as we become more and more successful the more we won't just have local fans, and so many fans will want to make a day of it.

Some very cynical, miserable people about - the type that don't like the Poznan as it means they have to do something different and maybe something other than sit on their hands all game.

This is where you don't understand football mate. To be a real fan in the eyes of some on here you must:

1) Have gone to York away
2) Be Working Class
3) Drink beer
4) Never take kids
5) Be a curmudgeon
6) Have gone to York away
7) Want to sack the manager
8) Admit there is a press agenda
9) Deny there is a press agenda
10) Have gone to York away

Shame on you for not knowing the rules.

1) Have gone to York away - No. Although I remember where I was when the score came in.
2) Be Working Class - Yes. I'm the Son of a Lorry Driver and a Secretary who works a job that requires no qualifications.
3) Drink beer - Stupidest question ever. Is the Pope a Catholic?
4) Never take kids - Yes. I don't have them and my Nephew is Cardiff.
5) Be a curmudgeon - I'm too Working Class to know what that means.
6) Have gone to York away - Yes. I was there.
7) Want to sack the manager - No but Yes but No.
8) Admit there is a press agenda - Yes.
9) Deny there is a press agenda - Yes.
10) Have gone to York away - I can't remember. I was too pissed on beer.

Distasteful or not it works. The announcers for the Norwich and the Wolves match both picked up on the together banners pointing out the new philosophies of City. So yeah, we may think it's cheesy but it works.
