We play in City Blue. The badge is clearly based on City's. We are called Maine Road FC. We started out 60 years ago as "City Supporters, Rusholme". Our Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary & Treasurer (and myself) are seasoncard holders at City even though they (not me!) have to miss many games...

After four opening defeats in a row, Maine Road FC have now strung together 4 wins! Check out their win at AFC Blackpool on this video....also check out the cool kit as sponsored by Didsbury Blues. Road are home tonight against Winsford United. Get down to Brantingham Road M21 if you can...£5...

No Premier League football this weekend - Why not get down to Brantingham Road Chorlton/Whalley Range for the 2nd Round FA Vase clash between Road and Billingham. The prize money is £1,200! That would be a Godsend along with some reasonable gate money. Only £5 for adults. £3 concessions. Wear...

Re: First game at home Rest assured, United have asked the PL not to be at home for the first fixture because they want their new pitch to have time to bed in. City have been told that (once more) we will be at home on the first day of the season. In terms of the pitch , we have been ahead...

I think our PR guys are doing very well, but they are up against some dreadful media people. I am a Guardian man, but today's issue is a case in point. Their lead Sports section is headlined:- "Pellegrini vows to 'win it all' at City" it is then sub-titled:- "New manager appointed with target...

This is absolutely right. Because United need to lay their umpteenth pitch and give it time to re-seed (and then they have to extract all the chewing gum that is bedded in near the benches), City are definitely at Home for our first game. I go withthe hunch of those who predict that we will play...

Many thanks for all those positive replies! County FA disappeared about 4 years or more ago - they never owned it and had a terrible relationship with the Church Landlords. We now rent direct from the Church (St Margaret's, Whalley Range). We actually have a very good relationship with the...

(Sorry for the slightly deceitful title. As ever, fully understand if Mods prefer to move this to the General Board…although there are plenty of City links here!) Maine Road F.C.’s stunningly good season finished last night at the seaside with a 4-2 win over AFC Blackpool. See the action and...

Free this afternoon (Sat)? Want to take your mind off Sunday. Get yourself down to the other Sky Blue Semi............. North-West Counties League Cup Challenge SEMI - FINAL Maine Road FC v Formby @ Brantingham Road Manchester M21 0TT Saturday, 13th April 2013 3:00pm kick-off Admission: Adults...

Maine Road FC managed three consecutive wins in the space of 5 days as they come to the end of an exhilirating season: Thurs: Won our quarter-final League Cup-tie at AFC Blackpool(1-3) to progress to a Semi (the day before City's!!) at Brantingham Road v Formby. Saturday we went to Alsager...

Typical! Something to do with those Sky Blue shirts - just when it was all going so well, we come crashing down to a 2-1 home defeat....ah well, a reminder of better times: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-9joHxtglY&list=UUnFeypdkwcA7zE9UWS3XFKQ&index=8"...

Re: Fri 26th April MCFC film night @ Cornerhouse Will be there, I think Gary. Booked 4 tickets. Then got a message saying that although the money may have been taken out of your account, there is a problem.-please get in touch with Cornerhouse immediately. As I'm just back from the pub and it...

£5 adults, £3 Concessions, Children free if accompanied by an adult. Decent programme £2.00 Pies and tea about half the cost of The Etihad! You would be most welcome. Although theoretically we should beat our visitors from Silsden (Keighley) tonight, they did beat us at their place a few...

Really hoping we'll have some available at the end of this season. Our very generous sponsorship deal with Reeds Rains will almost certainly come to an end when the season finishes, so even if the home kit is serviceable, it will be renewed. Anyone know a likely sponsor for us next year...

..for those of us who legged it down to Brantingham Road after the Goodison nightmare, we witnessed a superb game in which Maine Road FC defeated 'Scouse' promotion rivals Runcorn Town. The second goal is a blinder! <a class="postlink"...

I ended up at New Mills v Bamber Bridge as Maine Road FC didn't have a game. Mills were about 5th in the league and BB about 15th, but The Millers were hammered 1-5. As ever, they seemed to specialised in large physically intimidating players, but their mobility was poor. On that performance...

simonk He certainly is..... I guess this must have been on BM before, but I hadn't seen it. Many thanks. Laser Blues: Still astounds me, but thinking about it, Alan Partridge had to be a Norwich fan, so maybe those Green & Yellow scarves confused Laserblue.

But we were perennial losers and the character of Calf was funny in its way. The assumption that it has "gone over the heads of City fans" is absurd and insulting. It matters not one jot whether Steve Coogan (and you seem to be implying that it is Alan Partridge's character - which is pretty...

Table topping Maine Road FC now attracting top commentators to Brantingham Road: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-9joHxtglY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-9joHxtglY</a>

Good point! I was on the Kippax for 20 years or more (approx 66-86) and some behaviour was vile. We had one particular guy behind us who reduced everything to the crudest vocabulary,e.g.:Tottenham could only be referred to as "Cocksuckers" throughout the whole game. The most surreal moment was...
