Unless I had the same nightmare as you, I can assure you that you're bang on with that and it was their official website promoting it. I think it was 28 years, not 23, and I clearly remember those 2 whoppers Kirk and Tyrone out of Corrie with their mugs plastered on their website holding up cards with the number of years since we last won a trophy on them.
This club sponsored shit about our trophy drought went on for years over there as @Gary James pointed out on one of his Twitter posts the other week. I've no issue with the banner itself as that's just banter plus I always found it amusing how they put so much time and effort into taking the piss out of us, while at the same time claiming they didn't care about 'ikkle Citeh. No, it was their laughable double standards which came racing to the surface with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that accompanied the unveiling of the Tevez poster - from both club and fans alike - that I'm calling the fuckers out on. Their club aided and abetted a campaign that lasted for fucking years, yet as soon as our club does one single thing in return the sad bastards can't take it and start lobbing that stupid fucking "small-time" phrase around.
All City's poster said was Welcome To Manchester too. I remember years ago when the banner was in place MUFC used to insist interviews for TV shows were performed in one of the boxes and angled so that the banner was visible. The first time I noticed it was an interview with Bobby Charlton. Could you imagine if we did something similar and had Mike Summerbee positioned directly in a manner that laughed at MUFC?
On the 28 years Kirk/Tyrone stuff... if anyone has any official MUFC poster image or anything like that that ridicules City then please let me know. I'd be keen to include it in a future article or book. Use my twitter @garyjameswriter or Facebook.com/garyjames4 to get in touch. Cheers.
