Was the flat cap a give-away ... for Eccles ? ;)

Only the FOCs will understand that one. :-)

Nice to see you swearing for once. ;)

Came across this video - this is the site of the ground as it was in the 1980's - certainly up to the mid 90's before it became a container yard.

Do we think this postcard from 1920/1 is from Hyde Road (rather than an away ground)?

Hyde Road’s last League game was City v Newcastle. Here’s a piece on that including some of the match programme for that game:

Maine Road 100 – Bonus Article!

As Manchester City are playing Newcastle today (19 August 2023) and I’ve been doing a 100 day countdown to the centenary of Maine Road’s first game, it’s worth pausing to remember…

This fact is refuted by the Halifax Town Historian. He told me there was no proof whatsoever this was the case. I know Gary James was looking into it at some point.

He‘ll never accept it but the metalwork and measurements match one of Hyde Rd’s other roofs that survived as a factory in Sale (since demolished).

FA Cup 7th March 1914 if I’ve googled correctly. Finished 0-0. Went to their place a few days later and ended 0-0 in the first replay. Lost to a solitary goal in the second replay at Villa Park on the 16th. 4th round was a quarter final in those days.

Edit: the opponent was Sheff U according to the caption at the bottom.

The chaps in white coats appear to be selling drinks or something to people in the crowd.

Against who?

Against who?

Sorry, Sheffield United. It’s written at the bottom of the picture but isn’t immediately obvious.

But we have NO history...

I cycled around Cowes Street and the surrounding area. I couldn't see the Aces pub or Thomas Street, where I was led to believe there is a plaque marking City's inception. I found photos online but nothing there.

Do you know if there is anything at Kirkmanshulme Lane or elsewhere? Thanks

I thought as much. I was just cycling through and thought I'd have a quick gander.

Martin Zero has done a video series walking in the Cornbrook culvert starting from where it joins the Manchester ship canal (or the Irwell as it did) all the way upstream to where it starts and is open, in West Gorton.
This episode, number 5, starts at Bennett Street on the site of the old Hyde Road football ground.
You can fast forward to around 7 mins 15 seconds to the City / Ardwick bit
