Top idea of the OP.. and this would make it work in attracting fans.
Barca get a full house for the Gamper, one bcos they take it seriously enough and two as they use it as a celebration of the team for the start of the season and thanks to the players for the last season.
City would have to do some groundwork to get the fans into a similar way of thinking, as i dont think English clubs/fans have that kind of culture.. they dont seem that arsed as everyone put pre-season tournaments down to a waste of time effort and money. City would have to let it be known they would take it seriously to change that culture imo.
