Knocking down the old kippax really shafted us capacity wise didn’t it!No that was keeping the Kippax standing
I think the Kippax was going to stay all standing, but with a new roof similar to the Main Stand’s.Anyone know if the 54000 capacity would of been all seated?
As my Uncle once said, “the day they knocked the Kippax down, the club lost something it didn’t get back until the FA Cup semifinal against United”.Knocking down the old kippax really shafted us capacity wise didn’t it!

Would have been a really nice ground, what we ended up with by the mid 90s was a bit of a mess.
When we left in 2003, two of those stands were newer than the Etihad is now. But they were shite!
