Welcome To Manchester 1997

Lovely kit, shit team but great memories. My favourite time supporting city by a mile. The black humour, the togetherness of the fans, taking over tiny grounds and the surrounding pubs. The hatred of the rags, their corporatism and all that they stood for. Maine Road was magic. For all the success, I miss those days.
 
Can remember the queue outside the souvenir shop for these the day they came out. And the guests on Soccer AM, when it was good, gushing over the home one.

Kappa. The cool clubs had Kappa.

Loved the kit and still got the white away one. Didn't Kappa drop us at the first opportunity because they didn't want to be associated with failure ?

Considering who they supplied for at the time, can’t blame them.
 
1997.

Went to pre season friendly season at Mansfield. Beat them 7-0 ( I think). Told my wife “City are on their way this season”
I went to that game, stood behind the goal and I think it might have been Nicky Weaver's first appearance for us? I can't remember the score either.

They were expanding into less mainstream teams they thought may have a cool/edgy element like Sparta, Bilboa and Betis, not just the Juve/Barca flagships. City were already poor when Kappa did the deal, and we got shut of them after being promoted as LCS was more lucrative.
