The North Stand scoreboard arrived with the newly-constructed all-seater stand in the early 1970s.


Then we had this beauty.

Probably the worst ever looking new City stand built. Look at the state of that. Could it have been anymore basic?

Very optimistic to have two digits for the City goals scored

Don’t know if you ever went to the AGM back in the late 80s early 90s but there was a guy there who used to ask about the North Stand Scoreboard every year - (maybe it was you?) much to Peter Swales annoyance. After being fobbed off year on year and being told the Company who manufactured it had stopped trading the guy turned up one year with all the Company’s details they did exist (in Scotland I think) - I’m guessing Swales chucked the stuff straight in the bin because for the last 10 years at Maine Road I don’t remember that scoreboard working.

By the shirts in the crowd it looks like the division 3 season.

The Kappa shirts

Arguably some of the best City shirts ever made. I’ve got the blue one in a plastic bag. Probably a copy as I bought it off Etsy, but it looks genuine and very well made. Regardless, it looks great.
