So it seems most still prefer Highfield Rd including me. So where did we all used to sit/stand?
Season ticket in the West Terrace for me. Bang in the middle of the goal-Seat 90 row P which was far enough back under the West Stand above incase it started lashing down.
Which of you old duffers had your blanket and flask in the Main Stand then? :emoji_smiley:
Nice storyOn the kop for two seasons with my stool before we reached Div 1. One season in M&B. Then West Stand with dad till I went to uni. Still miss walking up to the ground (we used to park at the old Gulson rd hospital). And how my dad used to put with my unrealistic expectations...when we approached the turnstiles. Happy happy days.

Borussia Dortmund aswell wasn’t it?Me and my Nan were in the West Terrace, S 90 and 91. And we always used to curse that someone 5 rows in front of us used to stand all game so we had to as well

Now I know who you are!I may have worn that shirt a few times
If I remember right the west terrace started at 1 by the away fans then 4/5 were both behind the goals one to each side. I was in block 5 somewhere in the middle.

Front of cop as a nipper,West end in 70s.
Back to cop when I got to old to be a hooligan.
Spent many happy years just to left of scoreboard,leaning on the same rail each week( territorial creature of habit).
Then into sky blue stand till we left.
Started off with a season ticket in the West Terrace, kids price was something like £37.50 in 1985, then moved to the East Stand when it opened. Just looked out my old ticket for 98/99, was that when it opened? Cost was £342 in the Comtel East Stand,block E9, row 19, seat 20. Prices seem cheap now by comparison.
Following the 'Taylor Report’ in 1990 City, with almost 18,000 seats out of a capacity of 26,000, were well placed to meet the report’s recommendations that all top division grounds should be all-seater by August 1994. The Sky Blues were founder members of the Premiership in 1992 and in the summer of 1993, work commenced on the new East Stand and the team played its home games to a three-sided stadium for one season whilst the new stand rose from the wreck of the flattened Kop
