This was the first recorded Ultras capo in Europe but his megaphone is out of shot.

Knocking down the old kippax really shafted us capacity wise didn’t it!

No building the Swales monstrosity of the Platt Lane stand did that Although the new Kippax Stand, built under Lee was a good capacity it was all seated so it had an effect but no where near the Platt Lane. Swales wanted to take the Platt Lane stand around into the Kippax, I know that for a fact because he told me in person. I told him the Platt Lane was horrendous to which he replied you're the first to tell me that , well I'm not one of your sodding sycophants

Hated it.

As basic as a stand could be, bar the exec boxes.

The seated stand behind the goal at Stockport had a larger capacity.

We would have had a right poxy small time little ground if that happened.

All the TVs in the boxes were rented out by Swales himself.

Based on the clock end at Highbury if I recall correctly. Why model a new stand on one of the worst in the top flight. Shite capacity as well. As an aside does anyone know why we didn't fill in the corners properly when building the Kippax / Platt Lane?

The first ever English Poznan, shame he forgot to tell anybody else about it.

There wasn’t room for a new Kippax sized corner at the Platt Lane end and at the north end the views in the upper tiers would have been obstructed by the North Stand roof.
