Interesting that..My Aunty lived in Brantingham Rd... Strange that the writer mention Busby lived in Chorlton and no mention that Joe Mercer did so also in St Werburghs Road.A report on the club named after the stadium https://gloucestergroundho.wixsite.com/gloucester-groundhop/post/brantingham-road-maine-road-fc

Great pics and memories, for me the Kippax stopped being the Kippax when they put seats in.

So sad that anyone under 40 won't have been in the middle of the movements in the Kippax..... certainly makes me feel fucking old.If only we were still at Maine Road - safe standing would be back and installed on the Kippax!

Actually, hate to say it, because it had to be done — but football stopped being football on some level when they put seats in everywhere. Even when I had the money to sit, I always chose to stand (wherever the ground) if I could.
Wouldn't do it now, though! Jesus, had to do it through one or two away games in recent years and I realised that Father Time has caught up with me.

Dogshit alleys would be back ’n all. Tea weaker than gnats piss at the bottom of the Kippax steps, too (or so strong that you could strip the paint off your walls with it). The ghost of Helen ringing her bell, right at the front of the scoreboard end…
