Brilliant, apart from when I thought I was 10 men next to the aways & a couple of seasons in the NS seats, this is the view I had for the majority of my time at the old girl.

I would be just out of shot on the rectangle barrier....they were a posher stand than the round ones ;)

Great shot that. Holds many memories for me.

We always used to try and get in early and stand here most games. Always had a decent view.

How good was the old kippax, through the 70’s and 80’s. Then getting in you’re teens moving away from your dad/grandad towards the away fans with your mates, great memories.

My Dad told me some funny stories about the ‘Car Monitors’ told the kids the car can look after itself. Came back to it after the game with its windows smashed in

It was the best place on earth.
Looking at the pic on top of this page I sat on that wall this side of the tunnel when I was about 8 .
I was there with my mate who's not here anymore for the 5. 1 against the shit.
As we got older me dad took us further and further towards the other tunnel.
Till we told him to not stand near us .
We looked to cool in our adidas tracksuits .
Happy days .

great photo.
I'm in that lot somewhere.
Only time i went on the pitch
between 1968 and 2003.
Got on from the kippax over the smallish fencing and climbed
out via the north stand with mi mates,what a day and evening that was.
