Football league teams City have never played in our history

[xgorton]

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

Yes Wigan home 1-0,1971.They were in the Northern Premier league.

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

View attachment 173512

Accy Stanley who are in the league now were formed in 1968.

Accrington, and Accrington Stanley who were liquidated after resigning from the FL in 1962 are two different clubs. Even acknowledged by the club, that don't pretend to be the same, but count all 3 as clubs representing the town.
A history lesson from someone who is thick to a dilettante thread maker.

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.

played them in consecutive pre seasons 2001/02 & 2002/03 one was 4-0 other was 6-0

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

I was there (I paid my petrol for this one @Chappie ). Always thought it was a Friday but it was indeed played in the Saturday.

Derek Parlane got hat-trick didn't he?

Jamie Hoyland debut as well?

This history of Accy is accurate, but it didn't stop the morons at the FL from giving the current Accy Stan a commemorative plaque a few years ago along with the other 11 original FL members.

Another illiterate mouth breathIng cretin
LOL

Give it a rest. You claimed that City had rarely played Bristol City when they have played them loads of times.

You screwed up with your example and refuse to accept this and bad mouth anyone who points out your blunder.

Halifax were non-league weren't they, when they beat us in the FA Cup?

Edit - No they weren't. Division 4.

Yes Wigan home 1-0,1971.They were in the Northern Premier league.

The first two pages of my brand new scrap book were devoted to this game, my dad went but I was too young, I remember him saying how bad we were, and lucky to win (Colin Bell goal?)

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Don't remind me : (

I worked for Lloyds Bank in their Halifax HQ a few years ago and we had a fire evacuation drill. Their evacuation point was the stadium.

Yes Bell with the goal,then I was off to Chelsea next round the holders we stuffed them 3-0.

Yes, it’ll be this game (there’s film of the match too):

Bristol Rovers vs Manchester City, League Cup, Wed 07 October 1992

Details of every game played by Manchester City Football Club

The game was at Bath.

I think this was the first PayPerView game on Sky

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just saw this thread pop up and my immediate thought was Exeter City for some reason. Then scrolling down the first page confirmed we'd never played them in a competitive game.

 

[fierydan]

Maybe my minds playing tricks did we not play Hartlepool in the league cup 75 or 76 won 6-2 Denis Tueart was sent off?

Yes and their centre back,Potts,I think was sent off on a stretcher for his part in the head hitting incident.

 

[fierydan]

mk dons, bromley, sutton utd, yeovil, hartlepool, rushden & diamonds ( did they have 1 season in div 4 ? ) aldershot ? crawley town, stevenage, harrogate town,

That sounds like United's route to a Cup Final

 

[droylsdenblue]

Yes and their centre back,Potts,I think was sent off on a stretcher for his part in the head hitting incident.

Yes it was 6-0 and George Potter was sent off.

Wasn’t it the Colchester game prior in the Feb time ? Also was it sky or the infamous ITV digital season that hardly anyone had access too ?
