Abu Dhabi Blues's Supporters Club

Great turn out yesterday at NRG to watch City turn in another great win. NRG will be our choice gathering spot going forward. Keep a “beady eye” out for the next gathering.

For those of you that have yet to visit CityStore in the Marina Mall, have a look at what a great job they did preparing my shirt for the Beady Eye concert on Friday night. CityStore have a massive variety of gear for all ages.  

Flash Entertainment have generously given all Abu Dhabi Blues members complimentary tickets for the upcoming Beady Eye concert on Sept 16th At Flash Forum Yas Island.  Massive City Fan Liam Gallagher brings his band to Abu Dhabi for the first time. Let’s all get behind the boys from Manchester and show our support for a great band. Email me for details on how to redeem your tickets.

Coming Home with Etihad Airways

Are you a City fan living on the other side of the world and have not been to see your beloved City play in years?  Would you like to ‘come home’ to the City of Manchester Stadium for one of the biggest games of the season?

Or do you live in the UK and have friends and family living around the world who you’d love to bring home to visit you for the City vs. Spurs game in April 2011?  Well here’s your chance! 

As part of the ‘Coming Home’ promotion, Etihad Airways, Official Sponsor of Manchester City, is offering fans the chance of a lifetime – to fly to Manchester for one of the biggest game of the season.

We want you to send us your videos as to WHY we should pick you as a winner to fly 2 people home from anywhere in the world.  The prize includes return flights for 2 people from any of Etihad’s 65 worldwide destinations, 3 nights’ accommodation,  VIP hospitality at the game and executive seating.  You will even get the chance to meet some of Manchester City’s legends during a stadium tour, and you will have special pitch-side access in the build up to the game.

To enter and be in with a chance of winning this fantastic experience, simply log onto www.etihadcompetition.com/cominghome

We are looking for the most creative video entries to put through to the final in January.  Whether it’s you wearing your City shirt in front of a famous landmark, or maybe in a room at home which is decked out with loads of City memorabilia, we want you to upload your video into the email telling Etihad the reasons why you should be flown home for this massive game. The wackier the video entry, the better.  Your email also needs to include which Etihad destination you or your friends and family are closest to and don’t forget to include your name, email and contact number.

Abu Dhabi Blues will be hosting a family fun day and adult football tournament on Dec 11th at Al Yasmina School in Khalifa City A, Abu Dhabi. The event will run from 1-3 pm. The tournament will be 8 a side and 20 minute games. You can enter as an individual or as a team. Registration fee is 150 AED per player, all levels are welcome but you must be over 21 to play (very light-hearted). The fund-raiser is for an Abu Dhabi Blues member whose daughter has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. We are trying to raise the family spirits over the festive season.

If you do not want to play football and come along and enjoy the event it is free entry. We will be having a raffle and there are some great prizes. They include a framed signed 2010/ 2011 Manchester City Shirt, A Carlos Tevez framed poster (Andy Warhol style Pasion), a signed Manchester City Football plus other good prizes. There will be plenty of children’s activities also.

If you are in the area, please come along and support the event. If you need more details please contact me.

Cheers

Darren

                          Film Description: 

This is a film about obsession, passion and friendship and what football can do to your whole life.

Since being bought by Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi in August 2008, Manchester City has been transformed.

 After 34 years without a trophy City are now one of the most talked about clubs in world football.   They’ve bought star players and can now compete with their great Manchester rivals.

Viewed through the eyes of a group of adoring City fans, this is the story of the Club during the 2009/10 season – the first full year under Abu Dhabi control.  

 We’ll see how the fans’ passion for City affects their everyday lives – their work, their leisure, even their family relationships.

 With unique access to star players and celebrity fans, including Noel Gallagher, the feature-length documentary charts the highs and lows of a historic year.

 Entertaining, intimate and poignant, the film reveals a passion for football that has rarely been shown before.
