Lesser known / Quirky records City hold

[plattlanebenches]

You're correct. A memory slip I think. Didn't they have cheer leaders on before and at half time?

I think there were also parachutists with banners tied to them that landed before kick off? Could be wrong, memory not what it used to be.

Maine road is the home for both City’s and the rags record attendance

rather amusingly United don't hold the record attendance at old Trafford either

Wolves v Grimsby?

I noticed in 1937,the season when we got relegated after winning it the previous season, we went down with a positive goal difference. That can’t have happened too often ..

We were the top scorers in the league with 80 goals n’all

Wolves v Grimsby?

Yes FA cup semi final

I can’t guarantee it, but I would be pretty sure we’re the only side in history to run the ball into the corner, in the last few minutes of a game, to secure a draw when a win was needed to stay up.

First team to win a European and domestic trophy in the same season. 1970.
