Couldn't agree more. Grounds with stands built during different eras are the best, even if those stands have been modernised to a degree. You can feel the history of the club, unlike the new plastic bowl stadiums. The only thing that can save them is safe standing. Absolutely gutted to see Goodison Park & Griffin Park are the next two to go, but great to see Fulham, Liverpool, Forest, Bristol City, Palace, Plymouth etc investing in their existing stadiums!

Excellent vid. The '1950's' match v Villa was played in 1928. Owls won 2-0 as part of the Great Escape. In the days of 2 points for a win, Spurs were about 10 points clear of us with about 10 games to play. Spurs were relegated. They'd finished the season early and gone abroad thinking they were safe. The 1935 practice match was to prepare for a cup game at the Nest, Norwich's tight ground then. Wednesday won and took the FAC in the final v WBA.

Correct regarding the "1950's Villa match"....it was actually the last match of that 1927/28 season and the 2-0 win kept Wednesday up. Incidentally, the Villa player standing just outside the penalty area was the great Billy Walker who became Wednesday manager in 1933.

Rather haunting that picture taken of a game in 1990 from the ‘ infamous’ tunnel at the leppings lane end.

There had been neumerous incidents of crushing & overcrowding at the leppings lane end long before 1989. Grounds like these were dangerously outdated & unsafe at that stage to handle crowds of that magnitude, all while Wembley lay idle & unused. Perhaps it was seen as an unfair advantage to the London clubs to have these games at Wembley but at least the crowd could enjoy the game in comfort

There are hardly any trees growing along the banks of the Don. The photo shows how the East Bank was originally just a huge, shaped pile of earth and rubble with the original slope to gain admission. The same slope was still in use in the early 80's before the roof went on the Kop, I well remember using it many times. Damn steep it was too. The lhousing of Vere, Fielding and Bickerton Roads looks brand new and all clean and shiney. But above all, there is but ONE vehicle in the whole scene. Oh I just love history!!

great stadium, i think the main flaw with the leppings lane end was as you get through the turnstiles most people would automatically go to the centre of the terrace section 2 , resulting in why pens 3/4 were as i have read and watched , was always the first section of the terrace to get filled then overcrowded , lets be honest on that horrible day 95% of liverpool fans would have went straight to the entry that took you too pens 3/4 right behind the goal as soon as the police opened up that exit gate. 6/8 police men/women should have stood at that entry and direct fans to the other entries to the wing terraces ( easier said than done i guess)

Saw the pre-1960s shots of the ground & the Leppings Lane end could take about the same capacity as the Kop. While the North Stand had to be redeveloped when Hillsborough was chosen to stage games for the 1966 World Cup, all that was needed for Leppings Lane was a new roof & nothing more. Back then like the Kop it was standing only & would have been much safer with it. Unfortunately they chose to put a what turned out controversial stand where the upper tier was seated. This resulted in the standing area being greatly reduced & spectators there complained about that, notably overcrowding & entry. They simply turned Leppings Lane end from what looked like a perfectly safe stand into what would become a death-trap, & was proved so, along with all the near disasters before when completed for 1966.

I have a mate who says that the capacity of Hillsborough is only 33500 now and the kops capacity is 10600. At last the police and safety experts are starting to do there job right. It's a shame they didn't do it before the disaster.

Hillsborough isn't a new boring custom built bowl stadium but it's still one of the best traditional grounds in the country, The fences bastardised the stand and made it into a death trap.
