This morning marks another historic day for Manchester City Football Club as the newly-expanded Etihad Stadium hosts its first Premier League game of the 2015/16 season.

The newly-renovated South Stand will be officially opened at this game and we need your support to make it a moment to remember.

Supporters are asked to take their seats at least 15-minutes before kick-off. There will be ticker tape on each seat in the South Stand and we ask supporters to throw it as the players walk out of the tunnel. The signal will be when the large banners turn through 90° to reveal the newly expanded South Stand.

Please be aware there will be large semi-transparent banners in position inside the stadium, in front of the South Stand from when turnstiles open until the players come out of the tunnel for the final time, approximately five minutes before kick-off.

If you are coming, make sure you send us in all of your videos and pictures with the hashtag #EtihadExpanded on Twitter and Instagram.

If you’re unable to attend, don’t worry, we’ll have full coverage of the stand unveiling across our social media channels, on our Match Day Centre and, of course, on the CityMatchday App.
