@@nerazuronerazuro4886 there’s gonna be a part 2 filmed tomorrow at the champions league match there, then a part 3 with the Etihad campus next door etc

Loving your work!!!! Hello fellow Villan!!!

Thanks for the kind words mate, it’s much appreciated 😊 genuinely enjoyed the tour and looking forward to the Champions League game in a couple weeks time 👍🏾

Awesome comment that mate 😊👍🏾 we’re all football fans at the end of the day and I’ve found having an open mind just allows you to enjoy so much more football has to offer 🙌🏾 my mums side of the family are from Aston & all support Villa, but try telling a 5 year old to be rational when his dad & friends at school are all going up to Old Trafford to watch Fergie’s United… most 5 year olds will do the same thing 😅

I suppose Somerset isn’t far from Gloucestershire so you can see where I’m coming from with this 😅👍🏾 anyone under the age of 40 could care less where a fan is from but lots of the older generation forget the Premier League is now a GLOBAL super league as you mentioned mate… I remember on Ben Fosters podcast last year he was saying how he saw Brighton, Wolves, etc shirts in America 🇺🇸 crazy

Thanks for watching! 😊👍🏾 that should be a given for any fan… I’m still at Old Trafford watching us scrape through games against relegation fighting teams 😅 …people can’t knock City for being taken over and spending money, because most clubs would welcomely accept the same at their club - if money just stayed exclusive to a select number of clubs we may aswell have all joined the Super League… I do wish the money wasn’t quite so different from top to bottom but hey, that’s the modern game

@@mattgee1118 A delusional fan of one of the red Cartel clubs? No way. Now I've seen it all.

But yet EVERYONE has a go at utd fans as glory fans not being from Manchester forgetting they're a global club with fans worldwide.

Support the team when they are down like against united? My GOSH the silence was deafening

Haha cheers mate, I’m not one of those fans full of hatred I’m open minded and genuinely enjoy these stadium tours 😁👍🏾

Thanks mate, was a pleasure touring the stadium, obviously got the match next but also wanna do the Etihad academy setup 😊

thanks for that mate, interesting to know! It seemed as though the club wanted the 1880 out there more so than 1894 going by the stadium decor but I fully get the fans perspective on the latter... was great to have a look around

@@RysFootyParadise The club are a little confused on it, they do push the 1880 St Mark’s stuff at times because it’s an interesting story but then we have 1894 on our badge, there’s the 1894 corporate suite in the club, City’s customer service number for ticket queries literally ends in 1894 which is by design and they quote 1894 a lot generally. There’s a fan group designed for the purpose of atmosphere, basically a bunch of young lads who the club give preference in tickets behind the goal to… who are named “the 1894 group”, a bit like that Utd group who are in your singing section. If anyone is truly interested in Manchester sporting history, Dr Gary James is the place to start reading, he’s a Manchester based sports historian, who’s written books on City and Utd. He’s a City fan so does a bit more on City but he’s fair to Utd also. He claims that 1894 is the correct foundation year for City and Ardwick and St Marks that came before were separate entities.

@@tomben6180thanks for that mate, I’m a bit easily distracted by the glamorous stadiums - I end up missing the important factual information on club’s history 😅🙈 hey ho I’ll be back again soon so will look forward to learning more! Thanks for watching

@@RysFootyParadise No worries, your channel is very good by the way, I was waiting for a piss take or critical comments that mostly never came, it’s nice to have an unbiased opinion online for once.

@@tomben6180 I’m pretty laid back so it takes a lot to annoy me with regards to anything football… obviously I get carried away at United, hence the Haaland apology 😅🙈

Hey Jonny, how are you doing? Good to see you here! (James)

Thanks mate, looking forward to checking out a game there 😊

That’s it mate 😁👍🏾 some football fans are so full of hatred they forget the beauty of football is it’s fun and a release from the everyday world. Don’t get me wrong I’m in a stinking mood if United are 7nil down at Anfield but that’s on United, not on Liverpool 🙈

Thanks mate! And fair play to you for working at Old Trafford 👏🏽 the programme stands feel quite retro don’t you think?

😅👍🏾 cheers mate, stay tuned for part 2 in the champions league 🍻

hey thanks for the nice comment :) I think some City fans worry too much about what others say - it just comes with being successful (hence why Man United were hated in the 90s). It was a pleasure experiencing the Etihad 👍🏽

Thanks Mark 👍🏾

There was no academy tour available (tried every day this week) but as I’m up again the week after next I’ll try again to book one 😊👍🏾

Football rivalry stays on the pitch for me 🍻 love the beautiful game

Ffs 🤣🤣🤣 I am a bit daft mind 🙈 up again the week after next, gonna try check the academy out before the game

Thank you mate, welcome to the channel 👍🏾

Haha no way? Same as me just with City not United…

Glad you enjoyed it! Most fans would jump at the opportunity of billionaire investment (United included 😅) we can’t hold that against the fans

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you mate :)

Thanks for commenting and watching 😊 thoroughly enjoyable tour - will be back to do the campus next door soon 👍🏾

Haha thanks for that mate 😊 unfortunately I struggled to get tickets for the Liverpool game so it’s the RB Leipzig one, but I do love a Champions League night game (even though you guys will rest players) I’m more going for the Matchday experience and see bits I missed in this first video - heading over to the academy being one of them

Oh Christ 😅 they must be quite light then? Guessing they’ve been screwed to the floor since

They are actually very sturdy it was an unprecedented storm , I was at the time a program seller ( thankfully inside the stadium ) and they didn’t call the match off until 2 hours before KO ! Really enjoyed your vid , haven’t done a city stadium tour for over a decade and it’s obviously changed drastically in that time . Definitely planning another one soon @@RysFootyParadise

Haha thanks 😅

Haha true! Everytime I go into B&M or home bargains, I ALWAYS see kids with Haaland 9 shirts 😁

Haha too right! 😅 it’s in a prime location with the train line nearby and that entertainment complex being next door

Yeah that makes sense, the guides did say the plan was for City to go there pre Commonwealth games. I know old Trafford is in a sorry state atm but I still don’t want us to move. I couldn’t imagine watching United anywhere else

The commonwealth stadium wouldn't even have been built if the local council hadn't of got complete agreement beforehand from City that they would move there ..... City agreed to pay the local council a percentage of gate takings for home games at the new ground, for gates above the attendance average at Maine Road ...... most of the council bosses at Manchester City Council back then were City fans, so City were always gonna be offered this new ground first. MCFC is the ONLY club in Britain to have been founded by a woman ... Anna Connell, who was an instrumental figure at the church you mention, St Marks, West Gorton.

Basically an axe to Fergie’s heart when that Aguero goal went in 😅 🪓

Always worth checking out mate 😅 sounds like a fun trip! Let us know how it goes!

agreed. as a city fan I dislike Liverpool much more than united

He was a top bloke, along with the other guide. I wish I remembered both of their names when making the video so I could have given them a shoutout

I think City fans would be upset if I didn’t try and at least have SOME banter in there 😅 thanks for watching mate & stay tuned for part 2 👀

She’s a goodun 😁👍🏾 still hung up on Grealish leaving Villa though 🤣

Yeah it’s a nice area around the shop… will do more of an analysis in part 2 for the city match

You & your mum have a great stage presence. Keep the videos coming.@@RysFootyParadise

@@AJM-timecop thanks! Enjoy making them 😁

that's the bad thing for me with doing these tours - we see everything other clubs are doing, which we aren't... hopefully now with some of that Sir Jim money, we can start improving!

Much appreciated mate 👍🏾 stay tuned for Part 2 👀

Haha thanks for watching 👍🏾

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏾

It's shite our megastore isn't it mate... even teams like Bournemouth and Brentford have more variety

@@RysFootyParadise I had to buy my Utd magnet from the city centre souvenir shops and pins from the make shift stalls on match day sums it up. 🥲

Wasn’t talking about the badge mate there is literally a church on the grounds, check out the tour 😊 you’re right on what you said with the tower being used as a jail etc but that wasn’t what I was referring to in comparing “church based football teams”

I will be at some point… I know Man United fans aren’t normally welcomed with open arms there… 🙈

Just don’t say Man United! 😂

@@rickyvai866 I’ll tell ‘em I’m a Forest Green Rovers fan 🌱 🚜

@@RysFootyParadiseyou’ve got the accent for it… sorry I had to 😂

​@@RysFootyParadisethere not welcomed there because Leeds are crap 😂

when I go to the San Siro I'll make a point of saying it looks like a multi story car park too... :D

Cheers mate thanks for watching

❤️💙

Yeah nice & tidy, fair play 👏🏽

Hopefully this video has helped you get a feel for what it’s like in & around the stadium 😊

That’s good to hear! No hate… just I can only remember one City supporter personally back then and that’s a guy known as “Roly” the postman who I worked with & a season ticket holder I believe

@@RysFootyParadise Yeah no worries mate. You were very fair. Cheltenham and Gloucester are a very well known Supporters Club. Dedicated fans. We also have a great Scandinavian following (think most Premier League clubs do, especially if you were successful in the 70s).

@@ShozzleMeNoz when I went to watch the United Vs Copenhagen game, I think there was more Danish United fans than Copenhagen fans 😁 English football is huge over there isn’t it… not surprised City benefit from that following also… how far is the old Maine road site from the Etihad?

@@RysFootyParadise Yep huge interest. The Scandinavia branch is by far the biggest branch of the City Supporters Club. Not surprised by your remarks about Copenhagen. It's about three miles but I've never been back since we left. I know people who have and without exception they told me not to go. I don't think I ever will. I've seen other football KZfaqrs go there but none of them were City fans. Leaving Maine Road was the right thing for the club but it's still a void that will never be filled.

@@ShozzleMeNoz I understand why you wouldn’t want to go back mate 😊 I think I’m gonna have a mooch before the game in part 2 👍🏾

Even us fans aren’t deluded enough to think we’re gonna come away with the 3 points there 😅

Was literally thinking today I’d love to cover Blackburn 👍🏾

Did a bit of a part 2 discovering more stuff and look forward to doing a part 3 😁

Nice one. Banter apart great vlog mate 👍​@RysFootyParadise

The old old division 3 but at the time of the Gillingham game it was division 2 before the championship was introduced 😊 (says it on the sign behind me)

Hopefully not… nobody wants to sound like this 😅

Haha was an enjoyable tour

🤣 true! I was 5 when my dad got me supporting United and by that point we’d only won the first 2 Prem titles so these kids have had all sorts to cheer about 😁🏆

Comedian isn’t she 🤣

Such a random comment 🤣❤️

😅

Yep 😅

Fucking hell, he’s already dead, stop hitting him 😂 He was very respectful to us and gave credit, let’s not turn into the scousers!

don't be angry Robert, I'm not one of those fans full of hate and resentment :) tried to do the campus tour but every day this week I tried to book, there wasn't an option to buy one... that said with the video around 25 minutes long it's probably better for another video! The entertainment area I made reference to at the end of the video, with the club shop also being moved into the extension of the stand. Look forward to checking it out once done... thanks for watching

@@RysFootyParadise Im not angry I just get amused at you tourists associating yourselves with a failing club you have no real connection with. Your videos are quite witty but you need a hook/catchphrase to pull people in, Have you thought about playing the Wurzurls so people will know its you?

@@robertmclellan3658 I'll drive a combine harvester into the Etihad next time, drinking a can of cider 😁

Plastic kings relavent since 2010😂

🙊

Haha she does… I love that old school BBC News voice though 😁

Because she’s old 🙊

Now you realise that it's actually YOU who is talking a load of bollocks, eh?

Ooo La laaa

Me or the Etihad… 😅

Bitter.

@@mattgee1118 Bitter.

Sounds like a hater

Haha she’s a character 🤩

Geographically* don’t remind me 😅

@RysFootyParadise You've had your glory years (which were misery years for us Blues) and now we've had ours...finally! Keep up the quality vids and don't lose your sense of humour which your clearly inherited from your cool Mum 🔝Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
