One legacy from the old Kop..  never to be forgotten either.  The old Kop would be very proud.

Actually, how dangerous is that terrace. If people started to surge and fall forwards there was nothing to stop them. Scary.

Yeah I know what you mean, it doesn't half look steep. Was it reprofiled to mke it shallower at some point?

Or you get a good spec just in front of a barrier.  No real shoving from behind, nice and comfy. Sorted.  A few latecomers and a goal later and you were suddenly battling not to be the feller limpeted to the barrier in front.

Is where I always stood, right in front of the barrier. You actually learned how to ride the crowd after a while. A big surge forward for a chance or a near miss and everyone went down the steps then, at the moment the surge stopped moving forwards, you skippedi t back up before everyone else to reclaim your spot.

When a goal went in, well that was just a free for all for 30 seconds or so.

Not sure but I don't think so. It was very, very steep as you came out the back of the Kop is all I remember. If it had been much steeper it would have been near vertical.

They are the old steps at the back of The Kop, not the terrace itself!
