January 10, 200818 yr Munich tribute Chris Bailey 9/ 1/2008 CITY'S shirt sponsors and manufacturer have agreed that their branding should be removed from the kit worn in next month's Munich anniversary derby at Old Trafford. The decision by Thomas Cook.com and Le Coq Sportif came after talks between the companies and concerned Blues fans who want to ensure the 50th anniversary of the tragedy is properly respected. Producing a unique kit that will incorporate a black ribbon of remembrance is just one of several initiatives that City have adopted after lengthy discussions with their own fans and several meetings with United counterparts to develop ideas. Every one of the 3,000 City fans who receives a ticket for the match on February 10 will also be given a letter from boss Sven-Goran Eriksson and skipper Richard Dunne, plus a picture of Frank Swift, the legendary Blues keeper who died in the plane crash at Munich. The letter reads: "Prior to this game, the 50th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster will be marked with a special commemoration. "Many supporters will already be aware that Manchester City lost one of our own in the tragedy, goalkeeper Frank Swift. Twenty-two players, staff and journalists also lost their lives. Support "We ask that all supporters uphold the good name of Manchester City and respectfully support the commemorations which will also be attended by friends and family of the victims including Frank Swift's family. "This initiative is backed by the Official Supporters Club and Centenary Supporters Association. Thank you for your support." United have given City permission to decorate the away end concourses at Old Trafford with Swift memorabilia and all Blues will be given a club scarf on the way into the match. "After discussions with the Official Supporters' Club and the Centenary Supporters Association both Thomas Cook and Le Coq Sportif offered to remove branding from the shirts," confirmed Blues spokesman Paul Tyrrell. "Le Coq are happy to produce a unique kit for the occasion." Unlike United, City will keep their squad numbers and names on the shirts for the game which kicks off at 1.30pm on the Sunday having been originally been pencilled in for a noon kick-off - a move that has caused concern amongst some fans' groups who fear it will merely give potential troublemakers an additional 90 minutes drinking time. Other plans for the joint marking of 50 years since ther Munich disaster are expected to be announced in the next couple of weeks. New national team boss Fabio Capello's first game in charge is on the actual day of the Munich anniversary - February 6 - when England take on Switzerland at Wembley. United are understood to have been in talks with the FA about how best to mark the occasion at that game.
January 12, 200818 yr Author Well done to Man Utd for that destruction of the premiership's biggest team who should really be 1st and not 11th. Mentioning no names though.
