city in yellow

[Motty]

When I saw the title, I thought you meant this:

Slightly better than the one on the video, in my opinion, but not too far behind!

I might have missed it somewhere in the middle of the thread, but wasn't the Arse away yellow kit a result of the inflatable banana craze?

Whatever prompted it, it was a truly shite kit.

 

[Time will pass me by]

I was at that one, top day out.

City fans just laughed when the players ran out in that awful kit.

We got absolutely thrashed, it was men against boys that day.

As usual city fans made the best of it and had a great day out in London, Arse fans didn't get our sense of humour and couldn't work out why we were having such a laugh.

Arsenal always seemed so strong in those days, very physical and city always seemed to get bullied by them. We can give it back now though with all our 6 foot plus players, can't wait for the new season, come on you blues!!!!!!

And never again in yellow please.

It was a good day and a great turnout of city fans. If I remember rightly it was Arsenals biggest crowd of the season ( could be wrong on that one but I remember Arsenal fans commenting on our great turn out ).

Your memory is fairly accurate. The crowd at highbury was 40,414, which was 10k more than they got against Wednesday a month earlier and about 7k more than most other fixtures around that time.

It became their 2nd highest League crowd of the season with only Spurs (46,132) beating it. Their average was 33,672.
