Manchester City seem to be the new up and coming footy team since they have had a big cash boost, they have gone from strength to strength. There new City of Manchester stadium is stunning apart from the spikey art decor which is not to my liking ( hey everybody has there own view). One of the great points i wanted to stress was the fact that, this whole new resurgance of Manchester City has created jobs and futures for people of manchester.
Manchester City has a large fanbase in relation to its comparative lack of success on the pitch. Since moving to the City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester City's average attendances have been in the top six in England, usually in excess of 40,000. Even in the late 1990s, when the club were relegated twice in three seasons and playing in the third tier of English football (then Division Two, now Football League One), home attendances were in the region of 30,000, compared to an average for the division of fewer than 8,000. Research carried out by Manchester City in 2005 estimates a fanbase of 886,000 in the United Kingdom and a total in excess of 2 million worldwide.
