Football league teams City have never played in our history

[Longdarnit Blue]

Just checked - we never played Aberdare Athletic (football league 1921 - 1927).
Pretty sure we’d have smashed them as they’ve all got tiny legs.

2-2

I went to a Friday night match against Bristol. The thing that amazed me was the huge following we took. Must have been 7,000 plus City fans there.

Never played AFC Wimbledon. What about MK DONS? Do people count them as wimbledon? Legally they are

Wimbledon moved to MK and changed their name. MKD are the successor club even though it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of all football fans. We have never played AFCW.

If people are too fucking thick to read properly then that’s their problem



We played Accrington in the FA Cup in 1937, as even a short look at the history section of this website shows

The information wasn’t poor at all. Just the brains of some of the people trying to read it

Some very decent players in that City side.

My home town team, Yeovil Town, had a few years of success in the EFL, reaching the Championship. Sadly they went straight down and it almost destroyed the club. They are in the National League under new ownership, having narrowly avoided administration or a wind-up, and out of the FA cup already. Would love them to survive and get an away game at the Etihad next season or beyond.

Ishmael Miller had a couple of decent seasons there during that run, think he was top scorer one year

Re Accrington Stanley, yes that’s fair, same name but the modern incarnation are essentially a phoenix club who were formed in the late 60s after the club we played in the 1930s folded two years earler
So a bit like ‘Rangers’ in Scotland, who were reformed after similarly being liquidated

I thought we'd played Rochdale.......I was there with my lad and Kenny Carr made his debut:-)

Pre-season, think we won 4-0 or 6-0. The announcer certainly confused the City fans when he named our sub as Kenny Carr.
The 4-0 League Cup win (which many who were there forget about) was in the 72-73 League Cup.

Aberdare are on my list of teams to see and grounds to visit as there is some link between the current club and the one that played in the league. And they play on the original ground.

Think it was 6-0 home and 0-0 away 2legs back then.

Nope. 4-0 away 0-0 at home

 

[johnnytapia]

We played them in division 3. Away was pay per view on ITV Sport if I remember right.. and we won 1-0 with a goat goal

That Colchester on a Friday night

 

[johnnytapia]

I don't think we've ever played Bromley or Barnet.

Barnet I saw us lose 1-0 1st leg away at Underhill in league cup. Won 4-0 2nd leg Maine rd

I take it, I got no petrol money as well

What's all this nonsense about never having played Bristol City?

I can remember City drawing 2-2 with Bristol City at Maine Road in 1965. Ralph Brand scored one of his two goals for City. I also remember going to a 1-1 draw in the return match that season at Ashton Gate.

The highlights of the Ashton Gate game is shown at the start of the BBC video on Bell, Lee and Summerbee.

Ex Palace striker Dougie Freedman scored the winner, 1994. Horrible trip, horrible night

Correction, just checked on YouTube , it is on the Manchester City video.

That Colchester on a Friday night

The 1-0 (Goater) at Colchester was a Saturday night.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

Don't know what game your on about,but the Torquay cup game was 6-0 and 0-0 100%.

Derek Parlane got hat-trick didn't he?

 

[xgorton]

Nope. 4-0 away 0-0 at home

83/84 was the 6-0 you are right with the other one.

 

[simmo]

On a slightly different theme with it being fa cup week - have we played a non league team whilst you have been watching ?
