No its just the one flight, EK17/18.
LHR has only just gone double daily with A380s, so doubt that MAN would get 2 in a day for another 1-2 years at the bare minimum.
Just for the Nay sayers who think F wont work from MAN, it seems there are only a couple of F seats left on the inbounds, still quite a few on the outbounds, but may take time for the people comming in F on the EK17 to go back out again on the EK18.

Aside from the fact I'll believe it when I see it, you know how things can change, is this in their plans currently?

I also believe that most of the traffic in F will appreciate a red, Nike football shirt in their goody bag opposed to pyjamas...

My point exactly! Replace it with a Man Utd shirt and the plane will be full up front as well as at the back! 
However, what First class want, First class get so I would assume pyjamas would be available if requested...

Shirts?
If it's Emirates it might be a red and white Arsenal shirt. 
Who's the guy who owns Man City? Has he any connection to Abu Dhabi/Etihad/Qatar, and I must admit I'm now getting confused with football/airlines/Middle East geography, sorry.

Middle East airlines sponsor many sports and Emirates list is:

The "guy" who owns City owns many things including Etihad. And, to bring the thread back into Manchester realm, the significant investment in MCFC, club and surrounding area, has brought new focus to the Manchester Etihad operation, resulting in 777 upgrade and exec lounges.

With regards to swapping PJ's with football shirts to attract pax. Surely if they have enough money to fly all this way to watch a match, or just fly to the UK in general, they will have enough money to buy a football shirt in their home land. After all, MUFC and MCFC are global brands now thanks to sattelite tv etc.

Icelandair going up to 5 weekly flights this autumn. Flights run every day except Thu and Sun on a KEF-MAN-GLA-KEF routing.

Maybe we'll see better loads if the flight is daily...
Some how I doubt it and wouldn't be surprised to see MUC become the final destination...
They need to get some sense of consistency like EK. They seem to think that the A380 will have attracted MAN passengers to LHR however as they have seen, people want consistency and it has been much easier to just move across to EK, EY or QR.

if the loads are not good on it.. why make it daily.. it used to be full nearly everyday.
It used to be full nearly everyday when it was non-stop to SIN meaning Oz became a one stop destination as it is with EK, QR and EY now.
To be fair to SQ, it amazes me how much effort they have put into MAN and are still trying! They must have some faithful MAN passengers!

do i take it you dont like manchester airport.
I am just a realist. SQ are able to make MAN a success. Their cargo operation is superb, they just need to get a reliable service!
