My Dad played in one of the brass bands that performed at Maine Road in the 1950s. He said that they sat on a bench at the edge of the pitch until they were needed at half time.This is clearly part of our 'istree, if we can ever be allowed to have one, and those fans who went to Maine Road in the fifties were treated to a rendition of all sorts of musicality from the Beswick Prize Brass Band!
He probably got paid more than the City players got at that particular time.
