EDIT (26.09.21): I did originally think that the Summerbee Bar was named after Mike Summerbee (club legend, that would make more sense), but was told it was named after Nicky by a City fan. Methinks he was yanking my chain!
If you're wondering why a guy from Preston, who lived near Maine Road as a kid still became a United fan: go to 19:35 of the video.
Saves me from typing it out repeatedly.
Great video👍
@@nice-man793 thanks dude!
I don’t know how or why I watched this, as I’m a season ticket holder at city, but this was a quality watch. Thanks for appreciating our fans at least!
Thanks!
As a dirty red, I got no problem with you neighbours and I think your fans get a bad rap.
It'll all media hype and hearsay on social media that perpetuates the harsh stereotypes for both of our clubs.
how do you get a season ticket?
Hello, how can we be in the blue carpet when the players are arriving to the stadium?
Thank you ! I’m bringing my 81 year old father in law end of month. It’s his dream to see Man City play in this stadium. We are on our way down from glasgow. Loved this video.
Excellent, glad you found this video helpful.
Check out my other videos for more like this :)
I’m a Manchester City fan from Los Angeles! I really do admire the team and love how respectable and how great the fans are!
Yes, the team is probably the best performing and organised team in Europe at the moment. They're hard to stop.
Their fans are respectable. Not perfect (no teams fans are), but respectable nevertheless.
Been rewatching all your videos because I love this channel, thanks for the upload Ninh :)
Thanks Jack, much appreciated!
You deserve alot more recognition for the quality of your videos
I totally agree. And thanks!
amazing video! thx for it! it was really helpful! Looking forward to the next one. Cheers!
Cool, cheers!
Always happy to see an upload from you Ninh! Great vid.
Much appreciated! Thanks bro!
This video was exactly what I needed ! Thanks for this amazing and helpful video ❤
You're welcome! I'm happy that this video helps you out. Enjoy the game!
This video has been so helpful! We’re looking to visit for a match for the next season. Thank you! Super detailed video.
Glad it was helpful! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time at Manchester City. Enjoy!
A vlogger who doesn't consider his self as most important subject. Very good quality video. You may have convinced me to visit a City game next season. Thanks for uploading!👍
Yes, thank you very much!
I agree - I dislike when other vloggers make the video about themselves and not the subject. I try not to do that!
Be sure to check out my other videos 👍
YET again, another amazing video. Wow City’s ground is beautiful.
It really is! Thanks Wayne.
An Arsenal fan here from Malaysia. I must say its been a pleasure to watch your videos and it got me interested in visiting stadiums if I'm in a particular city which I would never do so if I've not seen any of your videos. Thank you very much and I hope you produce more videos, especially traveling ones. God Bless
Thanks. And yes, the travelling ones are what I really want to focus on.
Great videos! Very thorough details. That will be very helpful for my trip in August.
Thanks. Hope you have a nice time if you come here to Manchester! :)
I love your videos, I can't wait for my trip to England! best regards from Chile!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you find my videos helpful. I hope you enjoy England!
Incredible video :), thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks Alexis!
Glad to see this. I'm planning a trip to Manchester next year (Dec holidays) to visit friends, & am hoping to catch a match while I'm there.
Nice! It's easier to get tickets at City than it is at United, but if you want to venture into the other side, check out my guide here: th-cam.com/video/GynTajMqerA/w-d-xo.html
Quality video mate! Hope to return to Manchester for game for Man United. You definitely give us aboard and idea how navigate on a game day
Thanks! Definitely see a game here and check out my other matchday guide: th-cam.com/video/GynTajMqerA/w-d-xo.html for Manchester United.
Thank you. Great video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Great video, thanks for showing so much of the experience!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed this stadium tour of Manchester City.
Be sure to check out my channel for more tours like this :)
@@UltimateBucketList Already watching the Man U video you have. Love your style of giving the complete view of the stadium experience.
Anther great vid. Brilliant work dude. Villa and Birmingham tours would be good to see for a future vid.
Thanks. Birmingham City don't do tours I'm afraid.
@@UltimateBucketList Ah well. Swap them for Wolves I guess lol.
Another great video! I would love to see more Match day guides (Stamford Bridge****)!!!
I'll consider it ... but Chelsea tickets are notoriously hard to get.
Thanks a lot for the video. Definitely helps me
Glad it helped! Enjoy your trip to Manchester City, be sure to check out my other similar videos where you can.
Loved The Video Ninh!
Thanks!
I absolutely love this channel
Thanks Mason!
Cheers again Ninh! Absolutely love these. Been off TH-cam for a few days and was delighted to see a new bucket list video. It also helps that it’s a team I like too. Ever consider Brighton FC?
Thanks. Although I'm not sure a video on Brighton FC would pull in many viewers.
Thanks a lot for the informative video
Glad it was helpful!
Love it! You should DEFINITELY come back to Ibrox for a game. It has one of the BEST atmospheres in the UK by statistics and I’m sure you’d absolutely love it!
I'm not sure how you would quantify atmosphere by statistics, but I've been meaning to get tickets to an Old Firm game. Apparently it's like gold-dust trying to get them.
@@UltimateBucketList You’ll find one on the Rangers website closer to the fixture. Not sure how much an away end ticket would cost.. (No need to be in their stinky end anyway!) But nonetheless I feel like you’d love it and if you can find one closer to the game it’d be pretty darn cool!
@@lapiz_ Thanks for the tip, I'll keep my eye out. Cheers!
@@UltimateBucketList You’re most certainly welcome! I also vlog, if ya like, my trips to Ibrox. You can check them out on my channel if you wish to do so. Going tonight against Livingston in the Scottish League Cup Quarter Final. If not, thats also okay. Great video again.
Come to ibrox if you want to get racially abused
Great content out of all the city matches you couldn't have picked a worse one to go to ceep up the good work 👍
Southampton are a tough team, no shame in pulling out a draw against them.
And thanks!
Thanks for this . I will be there for the match against Crystal Palace on Dec 16th . So excited !
Great! I hope you enjoy the game!
Excellent video as always. Man City do have a very good set up at the Etihad. Not sure if I said but I did the tour in 2019 and had the same tour guide. Great banter was had, good memories at 15.14 not far from my air bnb.
Yeah, I think you mentioned that in the other video.
Mags is awesome, I'm surprised I've never bumped into her outside because I'm always around that area.
But yeah, fun times!
Very enjoyable and informative guide, I'm going to the Women's Manchester derby match in a few weeks as an away (Man Utd) fan and it's a good guide for getting information from about where to go and what to do.
Fantastic! I'm glad this video helps you plan your trip to the Manchester Derby. I think you'll have a great time at the Etihad. Be sure to help me out by sharing this video, but in the meantime: enjoy the game! 🙂
Thank you so much for this! Yesterday i bought tickets for the game vs Aston Villa on the 11th of February. I'm a City fan since I can remember (i'm 17 yrs) from the Netherlands but we have never been able to go due to financial reasons and covid of course. This video really helps me to know what to do on the matchday and this makes me even more excited which was already impossible :)
Great, glad this video helps. Enjoy the game against Villa, it'll be interesting to see.
What section you in pal
Great video mate so happy you did my club and hope you had an amazing time I went to Soccer aid there are couple weeks back and it was very good I haven’t been to a city game yet they’re due to because I live in London and this vlog is good for me to see because I haven’t experienced this yet
Cool, I bet Soccer Aid was fun?
And thanks bro.
Very informative. Cheers for the upload. Hopefully will get to see my first premier League match at city when the new season starts.
You're welcome! I'm sure you'll have a great time at City.
Enjoy!
@@UltimateBucketList have been to my first home game really enjoyed it. I see what you mean about the East stand being a sun trap.
@@iaingraham1539 glad you had a good time. And yeah, it's hotter than the freaking sun on the east side!
Great video, hopefully I can get to a premier league game one day as they usually don’t play a lot in Australia and I want to watch one of the big teams play at home
Absolutely! Out of all the big name teams, City is by far the easiest place to get tickets.
I am well amazed how well the Etihad is built and how much attraction is inside! I hope our new stadium will be something similar :)
I think Bramley Moore Dock will be a nice stadium when it's built.
Great video 👍 would u ever think of doing some of the German clubs maybe a tour of the allianz or signal iduna park
Yes, but I've just got to get to Germany first!
Funny how this was uploaded a day after I visited for the first time as a neutral. Loved the video as always Ninh :)
Ah, you went to the Wycombe game? It's a decent place to watch football, and the prices aren't too bad. Thanks man.
@@UltimateBucketList I did. The prices were decent because it was a cup game and I’ve never been in the Etihad before so I went for it and enjoyed it.
Good to see you again
Thanks!
Please can you do a Chelsea matchday visit 😔😩
You're the man, Ninh.
Thank you my brother!
I liked and subscribed and notification bell on
Great!
Not a fan of City but I love your content looking forward to more great videos Ninh!
More to come! And thanks!
Thank you so much for this.. I’m a big citizen supporter … for almost 17 years now… this year December I will be finally visiting Manchester and going to watch a match … I’m from South Africa btw ..
Ah that's great news, I hope you have a wonderful time here in Manchester!
I recommend catching a game here at City and also one at United if you can manage it?
You're coming from South Africa, make your trip count 😉
As a City fan born to two Mancs, I do plan to return to Manchester on my own and have these experiences as close to weekly as possible.
One day, you will!
I’m a city fan from Utah US, and this just makes me want to visit even more, my biggest dream is to visit at least once in my life
You should! It's easy to get to and tickets are readily available.
Great video Nihn
Thanks! And as a red, I didn't mind the result at all!
@@UltimateBucketList lol
好喜欢看你的视频，就像自己到了球场一样。希望后面能多点球场内部和看台部分的介绍。
谢谢。我很高兴你喜欢我的视频。我的频道上还有很多。
amazing video
Thanks Jackie!
About time bro 🙂
You can thank COVID for that one. Was filming some of the video 18 months ago prior to the game against Burnley. That's how long we've not been able to go back.
Wow this is just amazing.
I'm a student from India.
I've booked a ticket for City vs PSG
And now I know what to expect
I'm so excited
Thanks a lot.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time at the game!
Thanks for another great video Ninh would you go to a WSL or a Lionesses game if it was in Manchester?
Yeah totally. I've been to a few WSL games already - most of the time, they don't play in the big stadiums and they don't draw in massive crowds.
Still decent to watch though.
And thanks!
Great vid
Thanks!
Proper footy fan mate… respect
Shame about the result, but played well enough to win.
@@UltimateBucketList I was there aswell matey and we wasn’t good enough atall but ay ho can’t win em all can ya
Heading from Middleton to the stadium on Rochdale roads a killer all the way up to queens road.
I agree. I try and avoid that particular road when going to or leaving the Etihad.
Thank you so much! I didn't know we are not allowed to take a bag lol. I'm going tomorrow to watch the game vs psg 😎
That's a hot ticket - even I couldn't get tickets to that one. Have fun tomorrow!
I love your videos and you have a relaxing voice! City play Very attractive football but lacks an interesting atmosphere, when I go back to Manchester I’d likely go to old Trafford to see CR7.
Thanks! They say that it lacks atmosphere, but I disagree. When it's loud, it's really loud in that place. And City fans give as good as anyone out there.
They don't have as many varying chants like United do, but even then it's not bad.
I now have a season ticket at United, so I get to watch CR7 week in, week out!
Beautiful stadium
It really is!
chelsea supporter here lol i only watched this bc i wanted to see the v tall german-like ad boards. its a v cool addition i wont lie
They're in most modern stadiums now, but yeah it's a nice stadium for sure.
Going to watch city vs spurs in September. Thank you for the guide
And I don’t think that much of the games are on general sale anymore
You're welcome! I think City want to implement a strict membership system like United and Liverpool, so if GS tickets aren't available any more, that's probably why.
@@UltimateBucketList yeah that’s probably why. I was also just wondering if you knew how much it was for them to keep your bags outside the stadium since they aren’t allowed inside
great video if you can please can you go to old trafford again the last video you made there was great
Why? It'd be exactly the same as the last video.
You deserve more subs
I totally agree!
Great video!!
I'll be going to the city v aston villa game, can you inform me whether a ticket screenshot including the barcode will be enough or I'll have to download it as well for the machine to scan? Thank you so much againn
No, you have to download it to your phone and the phone reads the code AND the NFC on your phone. Have NFC activated along with the ticket they send you and it should work.
I'm from India and I will one day watch a match here. Thanks for a great video! :) 💙
One day you will! Thanks for watching my video, there's lots more like this on my channel :)
I need to come here one day
Yeah, maybe one day you will!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi mate, a months ago I asked if you were doing a stadium tour of Molineux. And while you were correct at the time that they weren't, I do believe that they are now back on if you fancy going.
I'll consider it, but it's not on the top of my list.
Going to my first cup game this Saturday. Used this video to get a rough idea of what to do on Matchday. How early do you suggest I turn up on Matchday? Very informative video!
Congratulations! I think you'll have a great time.
The traffic gets really bad about an hour before kick off.
So if you arrive two hours / 90 minutes beforehand, you'll have plenty of time to eat, shop, drink and watch pre-match warm ups without being stuck along Alan Turing Way.
Hope that helps?
@@UltimateBucketList Cheers Ninh! Much appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Great video and very informative. Am visiting Manchester n hope to catch a Man City match. Would u recommend that i join their matchday membership to get a ticket or just wait for general sales? Am hoping to catch the mam city against Tottenham match
Hi Sharon, thanks very much for your kind comments.
Yes, I believe because of the sudden demand for City tickets, you have to at least be a member in order to buy tickets now.
Go to the website, sign up for membership and as soon as they release the tickets - apply straightaway!
I'm sure you'll have an amazing time!
@@UltimateBucketList thank u so much for the advice!!!
Middlesbrough fan here, plan on watching us batter them next season
Interesting theory? Apparently, they're in a lot of trouble, but they'll find some way to worm out of it.
Interesting stuff
Thanks!
It could be cool if you could come see the OM v PSG match at the Vélodrome (which you have already visited by the way), the atmosphere will be electric and exceptional, one of the best in the country, even if I know it's complicated to travel at this time. Otherwise, well done for your videos, still great
(I’m French, sorry for the English)
J'aimerais assister à un match OM vs PSG, mais je pense que personne ne regarderait la vidéo car j'ai déjà fait une vidéo similaire.
Merci pour vos gentils commentaires!
@@UltimateBucketList Oh thank you for the answer in French ! And ok I undrestand.
@@supra3365 De rien! Je parle en français un peu :)
Aawesome!
Thanks!
2:20 do you put your phone in their to scan? Also are their multiple entrances i can’t wait to goto games when I get my bike
Yes. I demonstrate this later in the video at 10:01
Yes, there are multiple entrances for your ticket section, but you can only enter via the section on your ticket.
You were dressed nice for a day. Highly appreciated.
Thanks. Believe it or not, I look like that more often than not (shirt and blazer) rather than looking like a scruff with a football shirt on.
Gotta start dressing my age! 😂
I’m from Texas I’m going in September when would you consider buying tickets for 2 people next to each other ?
As soon as they're available! Keep an eye on the website to see when they release tickets.
Buy them as soon as you see them, because they go fast!
Where is the kiosk to sign up to be a football hooligan? Im going to watch them play Nottingham Forest this weekend with my girlfriend and we're really excited.
No kiosk required to be a hooligan, just rock up with fists at the ready and you're good to go.
As for watching Forest, Manchester City will probably beat them 4-0 or more.
The best TH-cam channel when it comes to stadium tours and everything else! Thank you Ninh!
Glad you enjoy it Blair, I appreciate the views, comments and support!
I saw you on tv when we played aston villa
Quite a few people did - my season ticket is now in the South Stand next to the United dugout.
I like your stuff, even though you are a red,you give a good honest opinion, like the Nicky Summerbee gag . I like your sense of humour (are you sure your a red )lol.keep up the good work. C.T.I.D.
Thanks bro, much appreciated.
can you tell me what the tunnel club experience is like please? thinkin gof buying it , id like to meet the players
It's very very nice!
If you can afford it, it's a wonderful experience and a fancy shindig.
You won't be disappointed at all.
@@UltimateBucketList thanks for the quick response! do you know whether you get a chance to meet the players or selfies etc? thats the only thing im interested in? could you give me full details by anyc hance, its for my kid haha
@@miscool obviously you're within touching distance of the players and manager as they arrive, that's why they built the tunnel club. But whether they stick around for selfies and autographs is down to them, and there's no way of absolutely guaranteeing that they'll interact with you or sign something for you.
Hey which stands do i need to go to chant with the home fans?
As mentioned in the video (11:26), the most vocal fans are located in the South Stand ... but it's right next to the away supporters!
@@UltimateBucketList thank you so much! I'm a bit of a skipper because of my ADHD
Hi mate, I am in Manchester now and already booked a ticket for CL game....Would I be allowed to take any other cameras like gopro or only mobile is allowed?? And what about the charge for keeping the bags if u remember?? Thanks alot mate, informative video for me and lot of people like me
Hello my friend. I think you'll be fine with a GoPro, but big cameras with big lenses are not allowed. My advice is to travel light and don't bring a bag with you - it's so much easier with security if you don't have a bag.
If you absolutely have to carry a bag - use the drop off facilities (someone will tell you where they are). I think it's £5 per item that they keep for you.
@@UltimateBucketList That's pretty informative for me, my only concerns were gopro and powerbank otherwise i will just go light..thanks again...cheers
@@ashishpoudel203 you're welcome! The only other piece of advice is: before you approach security, have your phone, wallet, keys & GoPro in your hands. Let them search you by holding your hands high in the air and act like you've been there hundreds of times before. They don't do much to people who look like they've been there before. But they treat tourists with suspicion especially if they've got bags. So act like you've done this before and your security search will take 10 seconds, instead of several minutes!
Brother please do tour of cricket stadium like old Trafford cricket stadium , lord , kengiston oval.
Also lord has oldest sport museum in world 🌍 👍👍.
I hope u accept my recommendation 😀😀
I think I might do one at Lord's, but other than that - I doubt many other people would be interested in the others.
@@UltimateBucketList hmmm u r right but please do tour of lords cricket ground at least 👍.
Please
The etihad is cool
Yes it is!
Nicee💙🔥
Thanks 🔥
Hello Ninh! Since Manchester City’s title of “Richest club in the world” has been now taken by Newcastle United, where do you think they might finish next season and if they do any renovations to St. James’s Park, would you take the tour again? (if it happens, that is)
People think that now that Newcastle's owners are the richest in the world, that makes the club the richest too. This is incorrect, as people also forget the FIFA Financial Fair Play Rules. Newcastle can only spend a percentage based upon their commercial earnings, so the squad won't change that much for this season and the next. They'll spend money of course, but they won't be buying a billion dollar squad anytime soon.
I would like to know if you recorded the entire video with your cell phone camera or if you only took it inside the stadium.
I did most of it with a GrPro - the bits I "couldn't film" inside Old Trafford was with a cell phone.
Good guidance for City fans who didn’t know how to go there. Because Pep wants all fans to come 😂
Pep should be sharing my video with everyone, the next time he wants more fans in the stadium.
For the final match of the league(city v aston villa), when should I arrive at the stadium?
As mentioned in the video, aim to arrive about 2-3 hours before kick off so that you can park up, eat, buy stuff and watch the pre-game warm-ups etc.
Do Tranmere rovers please thanks 🙏
No. Sorry.
i have a question really embarrassing one when you choose a seating stand how would i know if im sitting with city fans or away fans
As mentioned in the video, the away fans sit in a section of the South Stand.
Unless you're affiliate with the away team, you won't be able to buy tickets there.
Therefore when you buy a ticket from City, you'll be sitting with the City fans.
I accidently bought 4 tickets on the same name. Are they doing an ID check to see if you match the name on the ticket? It's important since I don't want to travel across europe to get denied acces.
You should be fine so long as each person has their own ticket on their own separate phone.
If you need it changing, I'm sure you could ring the ticket office and they'll change it for you.
I've never been ID checked once at Manchester City and I've never seen anybody get checked ... but they do random ID checks all the time at Manchester United.
Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday stadium tour. Pls
They're both nothing to write home about.
I went to the etihad stadium today for the very first time have they removed that man city sigh what's supposedly to be out the store as i did not notice it at all
They change the signs all the time, I don't know if they've taken it away or just removed it temporarily?
will my gopro be allowed in the stadium?
Yes, just keep it in your hands when you get security checked.
@@UltimateBucketList thank you!
Thanks for the video. Have you ever seen people waiting at their team bus stop after the match to get the players' autographs? 😅
Yes, that's the most likely time you'll get players autographs and pictures with them.
Plz make a video on BVB Dortmund matchday tour ..we would like to see it....
If I ever get to Dortmund, yeah.
Please come to Elland Road.
Sure, why not?
Do you think you could do a Villa Park tour video?
I'll consider it!
@@UltimateBucketList they have more european cups than little man city
How do you get the tram back to the city center
Simply go to the north side of the stadium and past the club shop. There you'll find the tram stop "Etihad Campus". The platform "Trams to Manchester" is clearly marked, so it's impossible for you to go onto the wrong tram. See 3:25 of the video.
