    Strange to think when I first went in 1992, that the two stands behind the goals were terracing.

    Was talk of it happening a few years back, just before Ashley bought us.

    I know, hard to imagine that their was ever terracing there in the first place, yet the first 40 games I went to there was terracing there.

    Unfortunately I'm only 21 so I dont have much memory of what the stadium looked like pre 1995ish so the photos are hard to work out in parts, great post though, REP.

    don't see the point in expanding it to 60k (i.e. extend the Gallowgate), we probably wouldnt fill it. Plus i heard rumour that they'd have to reinforce the metty, as the existing station wouldnt be able to take the load. Plus, there wouldnt be much room for that road that goes past the stadium at the minute, they'd probably have to redo the whole area around st. james' and it wouldnt be worth how much that would cost.

    edit: plus no expanding of the milburn, there's listed buildings behind it, so that pic would never come true (also, damn photoshop, putting all those model builders out of business)
