Heaviest home defeat you've witnessed either at Maine Rd or the Etihad

[M23 Citizen]

Yes, I was distraught that day. Thanks for finding the vid that ricochet was wicked.

Was he the Irish winger?

Did you see it? Attendance just 11,500 or thereabouts according to the History section. Jesus, Grimsby! I'd forgotten they'd even got as high as the Second Division…

I was there!

It was the worst performance I can recall from that era. Apart from Ron Frost making the second of his two appearances for City having scored at Charlton on his debut, it was a fairly strong City team. Neil Young was not playing, neither was Jimmy Murray, but otherwise it was mostly first choices.

In the next home match, City beat Derby after going 3-0 up very quickly and producing brilliant attacking football. Although City were eventually hanging on for a 3-2 win.

My first season as a match-going fan was 62/63 …. pretty sure we got beat at home 1-6 by West Ham and Bert Trautmann was sent off for kicking the ball up the ref’s back side.

In true City form we lost by the same score at their place.

And yes - we were duly relegated.

Come on City.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

I wasn't at the 0-4, but was at the 1-5. An absolute tonking only eased up when they eased off.

Think we failed to register a win over 18 games v Arse in that period, which including a run of 12 defeats in a row.

Probably 4 0 to Liverpool 88, Wimbledon 2001, Arsenal 4 0 2001, Arsenal 5 1 2003

Losing to Littlewoods was routine in the 1980s but the 5-0 defeat in 1982 is the worst I've seen.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Not the heaviest and I must have been to the home game which the History section sez we won 2-0 but who the fuck are they?

12/03/2009	AaB Fodbold	H	UEFA	2-0
19/03/2009	AaB Fodbold	A	UEFA	0-2

I presume that's Aalborg who we eventually beat on penalties after capitulating in the second leg.

I love those little snippets, especially from the Poyser era which rarely gets mentioned

Amazing that you were witnessing City hanging on desperately to a 3-2 lead surrounded by less than 12,000 hardy souls and yet within four years you'd be floating out of Maine Road after yet another impressive victory and dreaming of league glory

1-5 v Arsend. Henry scored hatrick we were 3 down after bout 15mins. Even better was my mate paid 70quid off a tout so he could get in
