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

[RiversideBlue]

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

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

Again, the thread is talking about home games.

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?

That was a different game. Season before I think.

Glad there wasn't any VAR back then.

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 :-)

I disagree.

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
