BBC Radio Manchester's Gaz Drinkwater and Emily Brobyn spoke to creators of The Citizens Trust, Nick Clarke, Loukas Gregory and Nic Unsworth.
This has become the first independently led Manchester City supporters trust representing the interests of City fans.
Issues the group will aim to confront include ticket prices, ticket sharing policy, fan engagement and fan experience.
"It is long overdue," explained Nic Unsworth.
"The vast majority of supporters' clubs in this country are founded in times of crisis. We're not quite in a crisis of such, however most fans, especially match-going fans, who have been aware of what's been going on around the club in the last couple of years can tell the direction of travel.
"At City there have been things in recent years that fans have not felt they have been represented in a democratic, unified, inclusive way.
"We have never had a trust like this, we are one of the few in the Football League who have not had one, and the only one in the so-called 'big six' without one. This is long overdue and, as fans have shown with the membership numbers in the last 48 hours, it's been wanted."
