Our Club Our History   The club was officially founded in 1999 by Ian "Arnie" Arnfield in 1999, prior to that, Arnie had been  running ad hoc away trips from The Sportsman's Rest Pub in Bredbury. Following his decision to form an  official club, the base of operations became Bredbury Conservative Club, from where home and away  transport was organised. In 2007 the club moved it's operations to the Crown Pub on Stockport Road,  again in Bredbury, where we are based today.   The first Committee was formed in 1999 and since then the club has evolved and grown into the biggest  travelling supporters club connected with Manchester City FC. We were delighted to celebrate our   centenery at the end of the 2008/09 season.  Aswell as the travel side, regular meetings have always been held, initially based at the Conservative  Club, but since 2007 these have been held at the Lowes Arms Pub, on Hyde Road in Bredbury. We are  extremely proud of the way the club has flourished over the last 10 years, the club membership has  grown year on year and at the end of the 2009/10 season it was well in excess of 400.   In 2007 we visted Gelsenkirchen and saw FC Schalke 04 and since that year we have made annual trips  and have made many friends over there in Germany.  From the start of the 2009/10 season, we were very proud to became part of the MCFC Supporters Club  (1949), commonly known as the OSC. Our Aims  The club was formed primarily to allow the city fans in the Bredbury, Romiley and Woodley areas to get  to as many home and away games as possible. As well as our core area, the success of the club has led  to members from New Mills, Hyde, Denton, Reddish and numerous other local surrounding areas as well  as members in South Wales, Leicester, Edinburgh, West Kirby, Bedford and London. We also have  members in Germany.  Arnie arranges travel for all home games and all away games. For the home games we use a 68 seater  coach and at least 2 mini buses, dependant on demand. For away games travel ranges from minibus, to  two, sometimes three 52 seater coaches. We also now use a luxurious double decker 82 seater  executive coach.   As far as away tickets are concerned, Arnie has forged an excellent relationship with the City ticket  office, and all tickets are purchased by the club and distributed on the day of the match, all the member  has to do is request the ticket and travel, come down and pay on the Thursday before and pick up the  ticket on match day. Arnie's aim has always been to get everyone who want's to get to a match, there if  possible, there have been very few instances when members have been disappointed.  As well as the travel and ticket side, the club has developed a social side, social events are organised by  the social commitee.
