Man City Family Day
Me and Joe went up to Manchester this weekend to see Man City play Leicester. Before the game we went to Man City Family Day. It was in one of the training areas....a full sized indoor astro turf pitch. Joe met the Man City mascot....Moonchester...
We played some football pool...
And Joe had a go at Zorb Football. All great fun...
The Game - Man City 5 v 1 Leicester City
We crossed the bridge to the stadium...
They gave all the kids at the Family Day a free scarf....Blue Mooooooon!
The atmosphere builds...
Kevin de Bruyne taking a free-kick for city. City won 5v1 with Sergio Aguero scoring four goals in the second half. It was an amazing performance from the whole team. Kevin de Bruyne provided three assists...which is his record for one game...
