There was quite a gap between the home and away fans in the Kippax, with iirc two sets of (laser blue) steel barriers which curved towards each set of supporters at the top, and a no mans land of a couple of metres in between, but like you, I absolutely don’t recall any netting between the two sets of supports - and I always used to enter the Kippax terrace through the left hand tunnel and my memory is still (just) pretty exceptional. Not infallible for sure, but I’d be very surprised if I was wrong.

My memory is not great but I did sit in the Platt Lane now and again and still don’t recall the netting.

My memories that bad I’m trying to think what part of the ground the away fans were in.

I can remember when they were in Platt lane on the benches or big game part of the kippax with gaps in between supporters.

I can’t remember any nets but I can remember a hawk on a string.

I call bullshit, the pesky kopite.

Where? Not saying you’re wrong, and it’s certainly not worth dying in a ditch over, but I don’t recall any netting for City games.

I remember the segregation as you said but thought they had netting at the back/top of the stand. Couldn’t say with any great certainty though.

Edit: just checked the footage of the 5-1 and can’t see any signs of any netting. If it wasn’t up for that game, then it’s hard to imagine it being up for any other, and it’s also difficult to imagine it being up episodically. That tunnel was right next to the away fans too.

Definitely no netting. As a kid I’d collect all the coins that were thrown and the funniest thing I seen was an umbrella with an apple stuck on the end to give it balance as it was thrown like a spear.
