Old Maine Road photos thread

[Jam Tomorrow]

This pic appeared on my FB feed, I assume it’s entry to the old Platt Lane, i only ever went in the Platt Lane once and that was the new stand. Assume it’s around 1989 with the inflatables, but by this time the Platt Lane was for away fans. So are these away fans or was this an other way of getting into the Main Stand?

I would be able to, if they had one of those 360 degree photos where you can zoom in to every single person. There was one that the club did a few years ago, but i cant remember which game it was for.

they had it for FA Cup final v Stoke in 2011 and did it at Etihad in 2014 when we played Barcelona

I think it's to the corner section of the Platt lane stand that was for home support.
There's one guy with a fried egg amongst the bananas.

If you look at the crowd, a lot were wearing suits. Looked a bit like our Blues Brothers away day at Palace many years later!
