I'm pretty sure that in years gone by a fair few grounds had that,to separate the crowd from directly behind the goal itself. Everton seemed to keep it like that for years after many had changed it.

Loakes Park - Wycombe - 'The most famous (and infamous) feature of the ground was the 11-foot slope of the pitch, downhill from the main seated stand.'

It's changed loads. Even up to the late 1980s it had a huge gap between the pitch and the behind the goal stands with cars packed in the gap and everything.:lol:

The big main stand they still have nearly bankrupted them IIRC when they built it IIRC.[DOUBLEPOST=1384636765][/DOUBLEPOST]

Had a look round here in 2008 before the Scottish cup final. It's what's left of the terracing of Third Lanark just a few hundred yards from Hampden Park. The local council were talking about flattening it. Now't like destroying a bit of history the wankers.

The view from that top corner at the Goldstone must have been pretty immense like, what with the rest of the ground being tiny - anybody down there for the 85/86 fixture ?? .

Which other teams had massive side terracing? Man City & Charlton sping to mind, Chelsea & Birmingham as well posisble !??!

I stood on that terrace in the 3rd division, it's not that big or impressive. We won IIRC, cracking weekend.

Edit, It was 2 years later, 1989. We won 2-1, cheers statcat!
