Cup 5th March 1910, reading ''In Memory of Manchester City, who fell at The County Ground, Swindon, fighting for the English Cup, March 5th 1910, aged 4th round'' followed by the rhyme: Bury Manchester City, Their day is over and done, Sing them a little sad ditty, And cheer for the team that won, Oh don't you think 'twas rather a pity, You came to Swindon, Manchester City.
