For the benefit of all you new berties, noticed quite a lot on these pages just lately, here is a Guide (taken from the official City website & emailed to me by an embarrassed 'Old Blue'), Just remember this is OFFICIAL City advice PART 1 Success means we’ll be welcoming a new generation of City fans from here in England and all over the globe, too, and when our new followers come on board, they’ll be welcomed with open arms into our ‘family’.

So long as you’ve got City in your hearts, we want your support – and if you are watching City (there’s only one City, by the way!) take on Stoke at Wembley on Saturday and you’ll be cheering us on for the first time in the new Carlos Tevez home shirt you’ve just bought on-line, this is stuff you need to know.

It’s worth noting that from 1923 to 2003 we played our home games at Maine Road
