Manchester City

I had called at the City of Manchester Stadium last night but as I was only 7 miles away in Stockport I thought I would go and try and find someone again. The wind blew me north and in a flash I was there. Again the stadium was totally deserted but around the other side the megastore was open. I locked my bike up and wandered in. Seeing a big burly security guard I explained what I was doing and asked for the manager. A smiling lady appeared and I told her about my trip and that Stuart Pearce had sent me a signed photo before I left but I still wanted to come and see the ground. She very happily signed my shirt, but explained that stadium was not accessible though as it was all alarmed up. I thanked her and left to make my way south again to the Duncan's home. I arrived just after 2pm a short and unfruitful day. I had a coffee, changed the spoke that had broken on the way to Sunderland and sat down to watch the FA cup draw. Bristol Rovers or Bournemouth vs Hereford! Hmm I hope it is Bournmouth as I would be happy to go down there again. Liz Finney the General Manager had been very kind to me there and had travelled half an hour to meet me on a Sunday morning. I don't want to go to Rovers again! If we did Ryan Green would be bound to score against us. Why couldn't we have had Chelsea instead of Macclesfield!!
