protest against rough play, considered ironic given "there is not a dirtier team going". In an 1893 match against St Johnstone, one of the City fans threw stones at the Saints' players. Second club A senior club of the same name was formed in 1935, but only lasted for two seasons, winding up before playing in the Qualifying Cup in 1937–38. Colours The club's colours were black and white "stripes" (in the context of the time, this referred to hoops), with white shorts until 1888 and navy afterwards. Ground The club played at the following grounds: 1884–85: South Inch (opposite Scott Street) 1885–90: Balhousie Park (original at Dunkeld Road) 1890-October 1898: Balhousie Park (second on the north side of Shields Factory) December 1898-January 1899: South Inch February 1899-May 1901: Muirton Bank Park September 1901 – 1902: North Inch In February 1885, the club played its Perthshire Cup replay against Pullars Rangers on the latter's ground at the Hillyland skating pond, and the club used it as its home ground for the remainder of the season. Given the unsatisfactory drainage on the ground, the club rented its new ground, soon to be called Balhousie Park, just to the north of the Wallace Works, on the Dunkeld Road, from the 1885–86 season. The club was forced to move before the 1890–91 season, as the old Balhousie was wanted for building works; the new ground, given the same name, was not as satisfactory, and originally had a cinder pitch. City was evicted from Balhousie a second time in November 1898, and used the Perth Academy Former Pupils' ground at South Inch as a temporary venue. The club's new ground was held on a 9-year tenancy from a Mr Cunningham at Atholl Bank farm. The new ground - called Muirton Bank Park - was ready for use from February 1899.
