I used to love Maine Road when I first started going with my dad in the mid 60s, we used to sit on the wooden benches in the platt lane & if you ever dared to stand up while the game was being played SIT DOWN!, opposite was the open scoreboard end, on the left was the "Posh" Maine stand & on the right was the huge Kippax stand where all the rough hoolligans went (or so my nan said),
Sadly over the years they made a right mess of the ground, When the scoreboard end got a roof & became the North Stand that wasnt to bad (used to love the different flags on the roof) appart from the hi tec electronic scoreboard that seemed to last about 6 months before going faulty?
But the new platt lane was a really tin pot small time stand & I hated the new Kippax (mainly because the old kippax had gone, I still miss the 60s Maine Road but by the time they had finished with it I was not that sad to move.
