Remember the "boys enclosure" for 6d or something ?
I went in there a few times but I must admit that I had a season ticket in the Canton Stand when I was 15 or 16. I never enjoyed idiots performing in the Grange End to be honest . Can't understand it myself , but if people want to stand up and get thrown up on and stuff, good luck to them

Well I spent years in the Grange End as a youngster and never got ‘thrown up on and stuff’ in my life.
Fantastic days, full of fun, adventure, passion, camaraderie and banter.

You must have been a bundle of laughs at 15! For me I will always remember the excitement of the Grange End in the very early seventies when we were chasing promotion to the First Division. Its probably what got me and many others of that generation hooked on the City. I was still in school and scores of us would meet on the train and all stand together at the back. Great days. Looking back I don't know how safe it was because the old wooden terrace at the back used to creak and rock when we were jumping about. But we didn't care then!

It was the density of the crowd on terraces that provided the atmosphere, must have 2 or 3 times the number of people per unit of area. In fact games like Real Madrid and Hereford there were probably 5 or 6 times the density that you get these days. What we really need is unsafe standing, twice the people at half the cost ( ish ). Of course I don't mean actually unsafe but in reality there were very accidents caused by standing. Hillsborough wasn't caused by standing, it was caused in the main by a lack of crowd control. The terrace split into 3 sections and the possibility tragically too many choosing to go in the same section.
