It was a Blue Blue Christmas!

Man City supporters came out in force during December to usher in the festive season and raise funds for the club’s charities.

It was a sea of sky blue in City Square as the fans donned their Santa costumes in their teams colour!

Over 900 supporters signed up to help City in the Community charities of the year including Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Children’s Adventure Farm Trust and St.Ann’s Hospice. The main event was a 4km Santa Stroll around the stadium, and each Santa had a race number and received a medal and goody bag on completion. It was like the stadium had been transformed into a super sized grotto as Christmas stalls served mulled wine and mince pies and real reindeer were brought in along with Santa’s sleigh, which Moonchester enjoyed a few rides in and an ice rink was constructed setting the scene for a great family day out! Etihad Airlines and Malmaison donated some superb prizes including hotel vouchers, VIP matchday packages and even club manager Roberto Mancini was on hand for the festivities drawing the winners out of the hat! It was a superb event and even City fans that couldn’t attend donated a whopping £500 online.

Robert covered the event Live for City and Endemol and you can watch the film online at http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Video/Features/Santa-stroll

One City, One Show

Interviews with new team members, live broadcast big screens in the heart of SportCity, lucky Golden Seat competition winners & a cup of coffee with Moonchester, all in a day’s work.

We have been busy supporting the Blues helping create their exciting live show at all their home games. Working along side Endemol Sport we are very privileged indeed to be working at such a winning club. A great start to the season has boosted Man City into second place on the Barclays Premier League Table with a fantastic 14 points.

Jô, or João Alves de Assis Silva was in the spotlight after scoring a terrific goal at Manchester City, his first in almost two years in their Europa League victory over Red Bull Salzburg. We popped across to

the training ground to catch up with Jô in an interview about his life at City. He told us how he wants to proceed to help City become the champions and continue scoring goals as a striker!

We even caught up with Emmanuel Adebayor for an interview earlier this month. City’s manager, Roberto Mancini is also always at the end of our lens for a Live interview before the match kickoff giving us his prediction.

So the season is off to a great start and the live shows have been full of familiar faces such as the talented Chef, Marco Pierre White who dished up burgers whilst we chatted at the Blue Moon Cafe. Most exciting however was the arrival of Royalty in the form of his highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi and owner of Manchester City and of course not to forget Moonchester and Moonbeam who we always manage to catch up with during the day – they’re certainly very happy mascots at the moment :)
