Also took my first girlfriend on the Kippax and to the 69 FA Cup final and the the 70 League cup final,we won them both.I've said it before on here. At a time in my life when, for various reasons, there were tensions between myself and my parents (and my sister, come to that), I desperately needed to get out of the house, and cycle miles away up to Moss Side. The Kippax was home. First girlfriend, I took her and showed her my ‘home’. She was a brave soul, when I think about it.

I lived in a rolled-up newspaper in the Kippax tunnel, was beaten up by all the lads from the top of the Kippax on their way out, had gravel for tea, and considered myself lucky, although I was poor. Because I was poor.
At the scoreboard end there was a gate in the railings and an old codger charged you 6d to go thru to the Kippax. We er just jumped over the wall on most occasions.Do you remember you were allowed to climb over the wall at the bottom of the Platt Lane and go into the Kippax if you fancied it... certainly for some games anyway
No separation when I first stood there. I do remember an almighty scuffle when, guess who, the dippers arrived.What a stand!
Nothing like it.
Where Else would they put thousands of opposing fans separated by a single line of plod?
Oh the memories.
Aerial bombardments of Bottles of piss, darts, coins.
You staked a claim on your place and that was yours for evermore.
