Recently, we asked Cityzens for your thoughts and opinions on several Club ideas and invited you to share your own suggestions on how together we can be better connected.
We would like to thank all participants for sharing their ideas, which have helped shape our thinking on current initiatives and will do so moving forward.
The ideas submitted were predominantly focused on connecting with other fans from across the world and with our City players.
Submissions included ways fans could learn about each others’ stories. One respondent said he would like to see“Cityzens share their story about where they from, how they followed Man City and what it means to be a Cityzen.”
A fellow Cityzen had a similar idea: “It will be great to have fan stories posted on Cityzens at Home or the Cityzens website. It is great to know how one started following City and what brings them close to City.”
As a result, our content feature ‘How I Became A City Fan’ has been launched where Cityzens from across the world are interviewed about their story...
HOW I BECAME A CITY FAN: DARREN HOLDEN
HOW I BECAME A CITY FAN: BHAVYA MAMGAIN
HOW I BECAME A CITY FAN: BEN VALDEZ-HEMPEL
Meanwhile, fans also expressed their desire to share their creativity with the Club.
Therefore, we launched our first ever kit design competition, giving fans the opportunity to win a host of prizes from PUMA, including their new Spark boots!
If you are one of those fans who wants to show your creative skills, make sure to have a go at designing your very own kit by downloading the template below!
Finally, during these times where fans are unable to watch our City players take to the field of the Etihad or Academy Stadiums, fans expressed a desire to connect with our players.
We have streamed live interviews with a selection of our players to get an update on how they are doing, while several of our City stars have been personally sharing messages of support to fans...
Next up, we’ll be speaking to teenage sensation Phil Foden and we’re inviting Cityzens to submit questions for our young star!
Is there a burning question you have you always wanted to ask Phil? Something you’d love to know about him? A piece of advice you’d love to hear? His favourite song?
Ask away below...
Also in a bid to keep fans and the Club connected, we launched the Cityzens At Home website - a dedicated online resource with regularly updated news, advice and a wide range of fun and educational activities centred on football for the whole family to enjoy in your homes.
It’s where you will find a range of fun and educational activities, including bespoke coaching videos, skills challenges, classes, colouring-in packs, recipes and more!
Additionally, CITY+ has been made free to Cityzens until the football returns with our dedicated channel housing an archive of classic City games providing you with some much-needed football action.
Get your City fix every Saturday (3pm UK time) and Wednesday (7:45pm) with CITY+ Watch Together, as we look back on some of the most significant and enjoyable games of our history, featuring special guests!
We will keep striving to implement new initiatives on the back of the ideas submitted by Cityzens and we’ll keep you posted of any updates!
Stay tuned for more opportunities for Cityzens to contribute ideas. Keep an eye on the website!
