City moved from the east of Manchester to the south in 1923 after their previous home at Hyde Road proved inadequate.

 

Surrounded by the suburban terraces of Moss Side, the new ground was built on a former brick works and comprised a 10,000-seat Main Stand and banks of open terracing on the other three sides.

 

In the 1930s and through the 1950s roofs were added and seating replaced some terracing. Later piecemeal reconstruction resulted in Maine Road becoming one of the country’s most disjointed looking major football grounds.

 

A move to the City of Manchester Stadium, built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, was favoured over further redevelopment, and City’s final game at Maine Road was played in May 2003. Demolition began later that year and the site is now occupied by housing and a school.
