"On 23 March 1895, City went down 11-3 to Manchester City in a Second Division game in front of just 2,000 at Hyde Road, making it the club's heaviest defeat in the Football League. The ignominy of that result is that Manchester City also finished in the bottom half of the Second Division that season."

Man City had only recently changed their name from Ardwick FC. Those early years at a dreadfully muddy Hyde Road had only 2000 fans reported to be there.

Goals for City were Wally McReddie(4) Pat Finnerhan(2) Billy Meredith(2) Sandy Rowan(2) & Bob Milarvie .
Imps scorers were Lees, Smallman, OG

City finished 9th, Imps 13th.
