    Priced out?

    Exactly how can that be done? The Premier League can only expel a club, presumably by points deduction. They cannot dictate where in the EFL that City would end up.

    Ken Barnes loses 67 year old record

    If only one of our contributers had appeared on Eggheads, we would have been able to confirm this?

    Priced out?

    The rat probably died after eating dodgy burgers from the food outlets? That’s assuming that Louis Edwards still has the food concession at Old Trafford?

    Priced out?

    Don’t worry. City have a game in hand away at Liverpool to gain a point or three. Or alternatively to lose and bugger up the goal difference?

    Players you didn’t realise how good they were or appreciated them until they left.

    Ian Bowyer. He ran like he had two left feet and looked totally ungainly. He had a few decent games but was never really appreciated by the support at City. Brian Clough made him a world beater at Forest. Stan Bowles was a similar case.

    When Is The Club Going To Stop Selling Tickets In The Home End To Away Fans?

    It goes out for every match to those on Senior Season Tickets. They never check. The queues would be unsustainable if they did.

    Heaviest home defeat you've witnessed either at Maine Rd or the Etihad

    I was there! It was the worst performance I can recall from that era. Apart from Ron Frost making the second of his two appearances for City having scored at Charlton on his debut, it was a fairly strong City team. Neil Young was not playing, neither was Jimmy Murray, but otherwise it was...

    Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    I was at that match. My last visit to Anfield. I recall Ian Bowyer scoring late on to put City 2-1 ahead after an earlier own goal. Two goals for Liverpool in the last seven minutes from St John and Hunt won the match.

    I would say that Old Trafford is the leakiest!

    Hooliganism and Violence Maine Road 80's/early 90's

    The CCS were increasing separated from the actual football matches by the time I started to attend games circa 1989. I remember on time around 1993 when I took the kids to Hibs v Rangers and went to drop them off at my mother’s house after. She had seen a news report of fighting. I said we saw...

    Linford Christie won his Olympic 100 metres Gold at 32 and a World Championship Gold at 33.

    Hooliganism and Violence Maine Road 80's/early 90's

    I was there and can certainly confirm that. The matches back then had no segregation and were rarely all ticket. It was pay-at-the-gate and get there early if you wanted to be sure to get in. I suspect that most of the time they would admit vastly more than they were supposed to do but record...

    Iconic City games for every scoreline

    Reading away in an FA Cup replay in 1968. The first match was an awful 0-0 draw at Maine Road. The replay was four days later at the old Elm Park stadium. I had skived off work at lunchtime and drove from Manchester in my old Ford Anglia. It went really well that day. I was sat on a wall at...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Coe was fuming when he discovered that the running track was to be removed from COMS. Just how many athletics meetings would the stadium have ever hosted? Would City have agreed to move there with a permanent running track? If the answer to the latter question is no, then the stadium would...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    I suppose the argument can be made that West Ham just took advantage of the desperation of the Olympic Legacy Commission to find a user. Tottenham would have taken it had they been allowed to bulldoze the whole thing and build a new football stadium on the site. But this was not allowed because...

    I didn’t insult you. I took issue with what you posted. You seem to be saying that only a City supporter can report on City.
