Police urge City revellers to obey 'on-street alcohol ban'

Greater Manchester Police is urging fans to enjoy themselves in a 'responsible manner' as Manchester City players parade the Premier League trophy through the city on an open top bus.

Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney said:

Yesterday was a momentous day in the history of Manchester City, so its fans are quite rightly planning to celebrate their success.

It's been 44 years since their last league championship so fans will want to let off some steam and we would never try and discourage supporters enjoying themselves.

We would simply say that people should drink sensibly and ensure they get to the city centre in plenty of time to enjoy the event.

I would also remind supporters to take note of the on-street alcohol ban restricting drinking alcohol in public places.

The parade will be attended by a lot of families and I would urge all those attending to enjoy the unique atmosphere but behave in a responsible way.
