Quote: sally cinnamon "Did you go to the last game at Maine Road.
And did you know well in advance that City would lose it!'"
I did indeed, and I knew about five years beforehand that we would lose it. That's the City way!
As it happened, it was against Southampton in a meaningless end of season game and nobody was scarred for life by losing.
The occasion was fantastic though and it just won't be the same tomorrow. The reason being that there is now a possibility of another game on it afterwards. Not certain but highly likely.
The end of Central Park was a proper occasion. Like the 'end' of Wilderspool, this is now degenerating into a farce where the last advertised game is anything but.
