Club to donate match fee to China quake fund 21/05/2008 16:00



As the scenes of devastation from Sichuan province go on to a ninth day, Manchester City themselves have backed up Sun Jihai’s determination to help those suffering in China.
Club spokesman Paul Tyrrell said today: “We can announce that our chairman Dr. Thaksin Shinawatra has said that Manchester City will donate the proceeds that we have received from our visit to Hong Kong to the China earthquake emergency fund.

“Yesterday Sun Jihai talked about how the disaster has effected the people of China, with over 41,000 confirmed dead and in excess of 250,000 injured and many millions left homeless.

“This is our gesture of solidarity, appreciation and understanding to the Chinese people.”

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson added: “The images coming out of China are harrowing and unforgettable and as the Club is currently in the country we think it is entirely appropriate to make this gesture.”

City’s players will also wear black armbands for the game against a South China invitational team and Sun Jihai will captain the team as a mark of respect to all those in China who have suffered and are still suffering.

mcfc.co.uk will bring you a full match report from tomorrow's game which gets underway at 6pm local time (GMT +7).

depends where they bite you, if you get bitten out in the middle of nowhere your a deadman, but if you can get to a hospital pretty quick nothing more than a bite and a upset stomach.

was a young boy watching a game and it was man u vs man city and i just remember the way city played with heart even though they were outclassed all over the park. we ended up losing 1-0 but we showed plenty of fight, and the rest as they say is history. been a blue for probably 10-11 years now, and loving every season of it.

I've always felt that it is unwise to live in a country where poisonous spiders live in the loo and bite you in the arse when you having a pony

Good job you all live on the edge. Its cooler there with the ocean breeze.
If you all lived in the middle you'd be fighting dingos and snakes and going mad in desert heat and turn into serial killers chasing after innocent backpackers.
