Is it the pavilion itself? The ground was a cricket ground at the time (in fact it was a cricket ground first and Joe Mercer later told stories of his time as Sheff U manager when it was made perfectly clear to him that cricket would always be 1st at Bramall Lane - of course that changed in the 70s!) and for the semi final some did sit in the distance watching from the pavilion.Tbilisi said:Der Bomber said:The videos section is extremely interesting - maybe it had been there before and I was unaware of it. Footage from All-Lancashire Cup Derby against the rags in 1926 - wow!
Looks like hundreds of other interesting videos as well.
Thats my Sunday night taken care of.
Just watched that semi final at Bramall Lane,as I was brought up in Sheff after moving there from Denton I was interested to see that there appears to be a building opposite the John St Stand on the site on which the cricket ground later appeared.

When City signed Bobby Johnstone in the '50s it established a connection with Hibernian that lasted for a while but which only old timers in Manchester and Edinburgh will remember now. And sadly HIbs' fortunes have been pretty low of late. Personally I've always liked Raith Rovers, it's a grand name and the fans have a fine old song, "I can't help falling in love with you."Blågribben said:Got one question from a fellow supporter:
What scottish football club do manchester city fc has close connection with? Or are there a Scottish club the city fans appreciate more than others?

I use the site regularly and derive pleasure in being able to watch and talk about" the team we all live for" it has also won (and lost) me a few quid when it solves many an argument on dates scores etc I used to write comments in the MEN but since it sold its soul the website is strangely quite , so its great to have our Bluemoon Forum
That was a great game for your 1st match! Thanks to you and all the others who have commented on the history site. Much appreciated.bluestud said:I'm another who didn't know about this.
I just checked and watched my 1st game (v Derby 1991 Quinn saves a penalty)
Brilliant! Thanks everyone responsible.
It def needs more publicity.
