Murfy1 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Man City FC reportedly will play a post-season friendly against NYCFC in May, and then will go on to play 3 friendlies in Australia in July (2 in the ICC, against Real Madrid and Roma): Despite the furore surrounding the trip to the Middle-East, which included a friendly game against the German club Hamburg in front of watching City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, City regard overseas trips as crucial for the club’s commercial growth. Those plans include a post-season trip to the United States in May to play a high-profile friendly against City’s sister club, New York City FC, before a pre-season trip to Australia for a three-game tour. With the City Football Group also owning the A-League club Melbourne City, Pellegrini’s squad will be based in the Australian city in July where they will play Real Madrid and one other opponent in the International Champions Cup, before contesting another fixture in Sydney or Brisbane. The round-trip to Australia, where Chelsea are also expected to visit in July, will involve City clocking up 23,000 air miles having made a 7,000-mile journey to and from New York following the end of the Premier League season. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/11371126/Manchester-City-face-30000-mile-summer-tour-schedule-once-Premier-League-campaign-is-finished.html Not thrilled with the suggestion that Man City FC's 3rd (and only non-ICC) friendly will be in Sydney or Brisbane. Brisbane Roar some months ago were reportedly trying to organise a friendly with Man City FC, and I think it would be a real big mistake for Man City FC to play a friendly against another A-League side like Brisbane Roar and not play a friendly against Melbourne City. I've seen a mention on Twitter that Man City FC would likely be based in Melbourne if they come to Australia, and if they play a non-ICC friendly it would likely be against Melbourne City, so hopefully that's correct.

Moraiwe Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 No point for Manchester to play against Melbourne. There are more supporters to win over to the 'brand' if they play another A-League club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a lot of fun - players signing autographs and the kids being photographed with them etc. etc. and I reckon we'd get a good crowd at AAMI for an event like that.

Murfy1 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Melbourne City lifted by positive experience in Abu Dhabi as part of City football family MATT WINDLEY FEBRUARY 04, 2015 MELBOURNE City captain Patrick Kisnorbo says rubbing shoulders with Manchester City’s stars in Abu Dhabi in January made the team truly feel a part of the City family. The A-League side had a 12-day training camp in the United Arab Emirates capital where it also played two friendly matches. Manchester City also spent week in the Middle East on a winter break, staying at the same hotel as their Melbourne City brothers, and the two groups of players received a visit from club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. “We were treated like a part of the City family,” Kisnorbo said. “All the big board members and directors were there, Khaldoon personally came out and introduced himself and shook everyone’s hand and spoke about what his vision was. “To have somebody like that in your presence, he could have been anywhere in the world at that point, showed that he’s committed to us and The City Group and what he wants to achieve with our playing group. “We were very fortunate to have an experience like that. We didn’t feel like just some team from Australia, everyone treated us with the utmost respect, and took a real interest in us and the A-League. It was great.” Kisnorbo said “nothing was too big an ask” for Man City’s stars. “It was great to see a team like Man City so humble,” he said. “They all said ‘hello’, they were all polite, if people wanted a photo or just a chat they were fantastic.” Kisnorbo said “it was good to iron out a few things” on the training track throughout the camp, but added the team was particularly heartened by its performance in the second of its friendlies. John van’t Schip’s men lost to UAE side Al Jazira 2-0 not even two days after the team arrived from Australia, but a 1-1 draw with Ukrainian side FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk a week later was a different story. Dnipro will later this month take on Olympiakos in the second round of the Europa League and its best player, winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, was this week the subject of transfer interest from Tottenham and Liverpool. “It just shows the difference and the quality that we were up against,” Kisnorbo said. “I know it doesn’t count for much, but for us it does. We can take out of it a lot of things that we did well and bring them in to the second half of the season in the A-League.” http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/melbourne-city-lifted-by-positive-experience-in-abu-dhabi-as-part-of-city-football-family/story-fnk6rlg0-1227208129097?nk=a9a5a59b4b54ba4ad56bd5aca084b5d1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart_fan Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 ^^ Well one would hope that a free holiday in the middle of the season does the trick Overall, it was a great initiative, and one the team seemed to do the team well last week. Lets hope that builds in the next few weeks, as we will need to be in top form to get results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem as if any of our applications to trademark our name have progressed beyond the "pending" stage. However, the "other Melbourne City" has had an application approved to use their name and logo for the purpose of advertising social functions.

Heart_fan Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 ^^ Maybe we can leverage that and kick MV out of the venue, whilst the AFL can take over Etihad Stadium and leave MV to feel on the outer for once I'm sure the Sidwell is very pleased with his bit of business to sell our club to CFG, so I am sure he will like the sound of assisting to a better deal for MC, MS and the MR at AAMI Park. He may also implement the same closed off top tier policy for MR matches as he did for MH, which must help save cash. I still am surprised to see them currently have those tiers open for such small crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
