Season 2013/14
ENGLISH FA CUP
Venue:
Etihad Stadium (City of Manchester Stadium)
MANCHESTER CITY 2 CHELSEA 0
Scorer: Jovetic, Nasri
First visit to the very impressive Etihad Stadium. City create a very friendly and fun atmosphere pre-match with the home players greeted by their young fans at the entrance of the stadium with a few light hearted competitions. Around the other side of the ground is another stage with something for the adults. Music and some fun in the form of "Blind Date" where a lucky new couple get treated to some hospitality - a nice touch.
The stadium is as good a modern stadium as I've been too and the home support must enjoy going their on a regular basis but if you've not managed to get this ground yet hopefully you get there soon.
We were in the second tier of the Family Stand (second row) great seats! With 6,000 Chelsea fans in attendance it made for a good atmosphere.
This was the third time watching City this season and although a little understrengthed the real City turned up this time.
All in all worth the long trip down from Scotland and special thanks to the Football Ground Guide for some good travel tips at:
