Biggest, Most Important home match in City’s history?

[Lavinda Past]

Wembley 1999.

No if's or but's, there's never been a more important game in City's history.

Lose finals, semi finals, get relegated, get promoted... if we'd lost against Gillingham, we would almost certainly not have recovered, and we'd now be delighted to be scraping around in the Championship.

Pretty sure Wembley isn't our home. Second home maybe.

Nice.

Luton 82/3 then. Proper football matches, not this Harlem Globetrotters style multi millionaire kick about for the telly competition that you don't even have to win your own league to get into.

Dick head.

I gave up reading thread titles years ago.

City 2 Stoke 1. 28th December 1998. If we hadn't won that I don't believe we'd be where we are now.

93:20 will always be the answer to this thread.
Me personally would choose beating Rags at home in any comp every time.
Love City Hate Rags CTID

Beating utd with the Vinnie header two games before was a bigger match. We should have pissed the QPR game. It's gone down in legend but we nearly fucked it up and it was horrible to be there watching it. Those who say it was their favourite city game have forgotten the first 93.19 mins.

Without beating Gillingham anything that has followed may well not have happened.

A bit harsh.

Again, the thread is talking about home games.

Was that the one with the fire in the North stand before the match?

Seems it is, in that case it's the QPR game then by a country mile.

No idea as was in the Kippax. I know after all the trouble at Stoke in the relegation match a few months before that didn't fancy it this day. I seem to remember they fell apart after we beat them.

I reckon this is in with a shout:



I was at this game and I was sure at the time it hit Goater's arm but I'm not sure if we ever found out.

Scenes at the end.

Nice.

Luton 82/3 then. Proper football matches, not this Harlem Globetrotters style multi millionaire kick about for the telly competition that you don't even have to win your own league to get into.

I remember the Luton match but when did we play against Nice?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

That was a different game. Season before I think.

Glad there wasn't any VAR back then.

 

[Scouse Blue]

It is right up there.

Luton was a big game and we messed it up. Set us back years that relegation.

United at home in the Aguero year was huge. We had to win.

QPR obviously.

Oh don't mention Luton!
Pleat's fucking silly dance and sitting in the Kippax for over an hour after, crying. I was much much younger then, and we are much much better these days :-)

 

[aguero93:20]

I disagree.

 

[solley attwell]

City v the rags in 2012. The build up was huge and the pressure on us was similar. Had we lost that night we would effectively handed them the title at our ground which was unthinkable then. Today we would handle defeat a bit better but then it would have set us back years
