Old Maine Road photos thread

[Fat Chance]

I don't think this can be at Maine Road - the terraces were too high to be overlooked by the houses and the houses are wrong for the area. Perhaps Alexandra Park or Platt Fields?

The write-up came with the pic, no drama..blues know where it is.

Im compiling all these pics with the hope of having one wall of my man cave covered with such nostalgia in one huge print. Greatly appreciate if there any more photos from the surrounding streets on match days from all eras.

Have a look at the ones I posted on the linked thread below mate from the last day at Maine Road.

20 years ago today - last game at Maine Road

I loved Maine Road, and miss it in many ways, but the final game was a bit of a strange day. It was obviously pretty emotional, but it pissed down and we played terribly. Seem to remember Doves and Badly Drawn Boy performing in the centre circle after the match. and that stupid Blues brothers...

Roy Clarke the Cardiff and Welsh international outside left after signing for Manchester City at Maine Road. Also in the picture is Wilfred Wild, the Manchester City Secretary. May 1947.

Didn't Roy Clarke go on to be heavily involved with the running of the social club at Maine Road in later years..?

Used to love going in there before and after every home game. Always a warm welcome and really felt at home inside. Can still hear the pre match buzz now.
The supporters social club still holds lots of great memories for me.
Fantastic place.

Is that Coventry City's Mick Coop on the ground ..and I'd guess at centre half Gary Gillespie watching on in the penalty box..not sure tho.

My old fella and his mate took me in there as a kid sat me on piano, fantastic place carried on going in with mates into the 80s great place. Remember winning match ball in Derby once trouble was we’d been stuffed 0-3 Dad chucked it on fire. :-)
