On this Day: City bid farewell to Maine Road On 11 May 2003, we made an emotional farewell to Maine Road. It proved to be a day full of emotion as City played our last-ever game at the atmospheric ground before moving to the Etihad Stadium and acclaimed photographer Kevin Cummins was there to chronicle the occasion. A sell-out crowd saw Shaun Goater – playing his final game for the Club - skipper the team, against Southampton.
