Blue Moon landmark

December 20, 2012 by Tony Bugby

Manchester City Football Club has today revealed exciting plans to build a brand new iconic landmark around the circumference of the Etihad Stadium.

Inspired by the City fans and dedicated to them, City Circle, as it will be known, is set to transform the home of the blues with thousands of supporter messages in the shape of personalised ‘Bluemoondiscs’ spelling out the lyrics of the fans’ favourite Club anthem, Blue Moon.

The new tribute will see all four verses of the terrace classic written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart recreated from approximately 40,000 circular disks and is set become the UK’s largest permanent fan tribute. Each letter will span more than two metres in height.

Blues fans’ can take their pick from a range of styles and prices starting from stainless steel, costing £60, coloured glass at £95, and a limited edition of hand cast bronze discs for £395.

City Circle is part of the Club’s on-going plans to enhance the Etihad Stadium and will not only ensure supporters have a permanent place in the club’s rich history, but also provides a lasting tribute to fans, players and individuals past and present.

Commenting on City Circle, Operations Director for Manchester City, Steve Sayer, said: “Manchester City has always been a club built on its fans. They are part of our DNA and make up the very fabric of whom and what we are today.

“City Circle is our way of enabling supporters to get closer to the Club they love and actually become part of the foundations of the stadium, for many years to come.

“City Circle lets fans make their mark, be it birthday and memorial tributes, memories that have helped shape our history or messages that will hopefully inspire future generations of City fans to come.”

Phase one of the construction is set to commence in 2013, with subsequent phases to follow later. For more information on how to be part of City Circle, please visit: www.mcfc.co.uk/citycircle<http://www.mcfc.co.uk/citycircle> or call 0161 850 1894.
