Help needed - Saw us at Edgeley park ( neutral venue ) but who did we play ?

There will be lots of City fans who have seen City play a home game at 3 different grounds over the past 20 seasons ;)

Barnsley?

Talking of Cardiff, who remembers the game at Maine Road V Southampton where they had more fans than Southampton did? They’d had a game somewhere local called off and all came to ours instead. The North Stand was split into three. Cardiff next to the Kippax. City next to the Main Stand and Southampton in the middle.

We thought we'd allowed plenty of time but still missed the first 10 minutes. It was weird watching a game with 10,000 people in an 80,000 capacity stadium. A bit like ghe 2020-21 League Cup final when Wembley was restricted due to Covid.

Barnsley?

Correct!

 

[Bluesince1979]

Correct!

Cant remember why now

There had been a gig at the Etihad and the pitch wasn't quite ready. We had to play the team from the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Cup so played it at Barnsely

It was Ipswich at home in 94, they cheered when we scored two early goals only for the game to get called off after about forty minutes.
we won the rearranged game 2-1.

You sure? I’m 99% sure it was against Southampton. In fact I was 100% sure 30 seconds ago.

I was at the Bury match. I remember that Wilf McGuiness was their Manager and we all took the piss when he walked out with them for the warm up

I recall when Wilf McGuinness was managing United (not very well) while Matt Busby was still 'stalking the corridors' of Old Trafford.

It was alleged that Busby had become an alcoholic as he was wandering about the stadium yelling "Where's McGuinness, where's McGuinness"!
