History
It is widely accepted that Manchester City F.C. was founded as St. Mark's (West Gorton) in 1880 by Anna Connell and two churchwardens of St. Mark's Church, in Gorton, a district in east Manchester. Prior to this, St. Mark's played cricket from 1875 and the side evolved out of that cricket team – the key organiser was Church Warden William Beastow.
In 1887, they moved to a new ground at Hyde Road, in Ardwick just to the east of the city centre, and were renamed Ardwick Association Football Club to reflect their new location.
Ardwick joined the Football League as founding members of the Second Division in 1892. Financial troubles in the 1893–94 season led to a reorganisation within the club, and Ardwick were reformed as Manchester City Football Club.
Stadia:
City of Manchester Stadium - Capacity of 47,726.
In the 1880's City played at 5 different grounds before settling at Hyde Park which became home for 36 years before a fire destroyed the Main Stand.
City then moved to Maine Road. Dubbed 'The Wembley of The North' by it's designers the ground had a capacity of 84,000 and holds the record for the largest-ever crowd at an English club ground when 84,569 attended an FA Cup tie against Stoke City on 3 March 1934.
Maine Road was redeveloped several times over its 80-year lifespan, by 1995 its capacity was restricted to 32,000, prompting the search for a new ground which culminated in the move to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003.

I've been a City fan since I can remember.
I remember going to games with my dad when I was around 5/6 years old. Sitting on the Main Stand and because my Dad knew a few of the players we were always invited into the Players Lounge after the games for a Hot Buffet and drinks.
Perfect time to get all the signatures.
I was there when this happened:

I was 7 years old.
