Unfortunately that horse bolted a long time ago with the creation of the Premier League. I used to get dropped off at Maine Road and go meet my mates in the Kippax in the 90s. If you’re a kid these days you couldn’t do that as of all the barriers in the way like buying a membership then paying the silly prices for a ticket on top of that.
It’s a double edged sword as it’s taken English football out of the doldrums it was in during the 1980s and improved stadiums where we don’t stand in asbestos cladded crumbling terraces. It needed doing in the wake of Hillsborough and the fire at Bradford City. Unfortunately it’s turned into the sanitised environment it’s is now, I thought safe standing might have changed it to be something like they do in Germany but it hasn’t.
