Evening Chaps are we well? just thinking about the good old days at maine rd and boy do I miss that place.
Got some great memories. I remember my first game without my old man when Iwas with my Mates and It was against oldham and it was 3-3 think it was 1991-92 or there about when higgs and hill billboards where up when they were building the new platt lane end. Any of you fellas remember your first games or any decent memories of the old place will be nice. Miss standing on Kippax and also then relocating to the north stand when the old kippax was demolished. WE ARE THE NORTH STAND, WE ARE THE NORTH STAND ,KIPPAX GIVE US A SONG SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGG Very Happy

Quinny's pen save, singing "he's got a pine-apple on his head" to Brevitt against Fulham?, Oasis concert, Kinky's wonder goal and would see Eddie Large most game's.

Speaking of the 'He's got a pineapple on his head' song, Jason Lee has just taken over as manager of Boston Utd in the BlueSquare North.

Favourite memory was taking young George to his first game, against Tranmere (how's that for glamorous?) and lifting him high to present him to all sides of the ground.
That was our Lion King moment!
Still brings a tear to my eye.

I was a ball boy there back in 1979 !! Met Mick Shannon watching the horses in the players lounge before the game, the game was City V Bristol City but still remember it well.

The cup quarter final replay and league cup semi in 1981. Incredible amount of people in the ground. Could lift your feet up and be carried along.

Was at school in Moss side at the time. Spent the build up to both matches standing on princess Parkway and directing Scousers towards old trrafford

My first game was against WBA in around 1975/6 and we lost 4-1 against a Cyril Regis hattrick.
Me, my dad and my uncle were sat in the Platt Lane end on all I can describe as "benches" with paint drawn lines signifying where one arse would start and end!
The gristle in the meat and tatty pie stuck in my teeth the whole match and made me heave....
I can remember my dad singing "who's the bastard in the black" and being really shocked as I'd never heard him say anything worse than "bloody hell woman" to my mum before.....
I can also remember my dad being fleeced out of 50p to have his car watched, only to see the same lad inside the ground :-)

I miss some of the old pubs, the ones near ComS are shit.

I still shudder when i remember the old Kippax bogs, stuff of nightmares.

I know this is going to sound poncy, but what i don't miss is the god awful corporate facilities at Maine Road, they were fucking attrocious and all the staff couldn't speak English. The facilities at CoMS are among the finest in the country.

Daz, my sister got married at MR and the facilities were shocking. I was'nt arsed though as i was wasted and got to meet Bell and Sumerbee. Was at Coms for the first game against Barca, the difference in quality was breathtaking, and we won.

Maine road memories Empty Three outstanding memories

Post by Bell-CTID Mon Jun 06, 2011 3:23 pm

1977, Colin Bell’s comeback. Came on as a second half substitute against Newcastle United in an overwhelming welcome. City won 4-0. I remember him running on with a clear limp – very sad. He lasted 2 more years before retiring

1978, v AC Milan (UEFA Cup, 3rd Round) 3 – 0, Kidd, Booth, Hartford (Agg 5-2). Got into the Kippax (centreline of course) about 10 minutes after kick-off and I’m pretty sure I missed all the goals (memory may be wrong – anyone know times of goals?). I do remember it was a freezing night but we were so packed in I was soaked with sweat in no time – ah, happy days!

2009, shmoozing at COMS in a hospitality suite. Colin Bell came up to our table and I swear I was totally dumb-struck. My brother got chatting to him but all I could do was stare with my gob open! Pathetic eh! It was also the last time my dad got to see City before he died (and his hero was Colin Bell too!)

I was at that Newcastle game, though for some reason I remember it being West Ham.

I also remember us winning 10 on the trot when he came back, but I've been told previously that we didn't

I do have some very fond memories of Maine Road and it just made me think, Do any of you wish we were still there?

Whilst I admit that the all round Matchday experience, and facilities at CoMS are awesome, I do still pine for the experience at Maine Road especially when you could still stand on The Kippax.

The atmosphere at Maine Road was second to none like when Nev fed the Goat, I'm sure the main stand was rocking that day something I have never experienced since we moved.


I know it's probably the nostalgia but I wish we had never moved, am I the only 1? It definately brought a tear to my eye the first time I walked past there and even though I knew it was Maine Road my eyes could no longer see it.

CL football beckons - we had to move on. Now then to hell with Maine Road memories - what about that FA Cup round against Spuds in 2003/04 season. Just watched it again on FA Cup Classics - down to 10 men and 3-0 down. SWP was a star - not the only one though - they all played well.
cheers
