A real Manchester City fan is wanted for a TV advert - and you'll get paid for it

We all know a family of true blue Manchester City fans and now could be their time to shine.

It's the fans that have been there through the good and bad times that are being sought for a TV advert.

A casting agency is looking for 'a genuine Manchester City fan aged 70+' to star in the commercial.

And they won't be appearing alone. They must have a child or grandchild who is also a City fan to star alongside them.

The advert, from VA Casting, says: "We are looking for real people who are real City supporters, not actors."

It adds: "We are looking for a genuine Manchester City fan aged 70+ for a TV commercial project.

"You must have a son or daughter, or grandson or granddaughter, who also loves Manchester City."

The chosen pair will be paid too, although it's not known exactly how much.

There is one catch that may or may not put you off. The filming will be done over the weekend of May 18 and 19 - FA Cup Final weekend - when City take on Watford.

It adds: "The project is linked to this so please let us know if this is an issue."

Anyone interested in applying is asked to send an email with a recent photo and some details of why you love City to victoria@vacasting.com putting MAN CITY FAN in the subject line.
