I’d been in every home section including the Gene Kelly stand but my preference was the Kippax.
So far as I can remember I was in every stand at Maine Road with the exception of the North Stand (which I still, to this day, think of as the scoreboard end, and the Home of the eccentric Helen). A tiny handful of times, Platt Lane and Main Stand. I'm pretty sure that I was in Platt Lane for the midweek match against Liverpool in August,1969, because even all these decades later I clearly remember looking down the pitch at various times during the match at the scoreboard end, which was just a sea of red and white scarves and — despite myself — I was impressed. Could've been the May match of the previous season (thanks, Gary, Ric, and whoever else is responsible for setting up the excellent history section of this forum, by the way), but I doubt it, because I note that the crowd is much, much smaller. The one match I took my former wife to we went into the Main Stand because, well, she was a lady, wasn't she, and I thought that the Kippax might be a bit too full on for her…
But my location gives the game away: the vast majority of times, approximately under the Trumann's For Steel hoarding, just to right of that stanchion as you look across the pitch at the Kippax (very occasionally, if I couldn't elbow my way through to my favoured spot, then to the left of it). Being in countries and continents far afield through the eighties and nineties, I never sat in the redeveloped Kippax.
At the Etihad I've been in every stand except the Family which, I've been told on good authority, has a shit atmosphere. But now I'm mainly SS (despite having no Nazi affiliations or indeed sympathy of any kind for that ideology).
