The season was notable for several reasons: primarily, it was the first season Manchester City spent at their Maine Road stadium, the predecessor Hyde Road having been left in the quest to meet the club's ambitions and move into a ground with a higher capacity.Photo of the week ~ Maine Road, former home of Manchester City https://www.wsc.co.uk/stories/photo-of-the-week-maine-road-former-home-of-manchester-city/ wsc.co.uk 21 June 2025 The season also proved to be manager Ernest Mangnall's last at the club. He was at the time the club's longest serving manager, having managed the club for 12 years and served 350 competitive games. He rounded his time at the club off with an FA Cup semi-final appearance, the first time that the club had got this far in the competition since they won it twenty years previously.
