Carrow Road 1985/86

[Mister Slush]

Without rambling on about my reasons for wanting to know - can anyone tell me which was the away end at Carrow Road in the 1980's?

I came with Hull City in September 1985 when building work was taking place following the City Stand fire the year before. I recall standing behind a goal and some of the pitch was obscured by said works (to my right if I remember rightly?).

If the City stand was to your right that would have been the Barclay?

 

[Mister Slush]

Thanks. I think it was to the right (I've had a few sleeps since then!). I can't even remember whether our end was segregated. I do know we got beat 2-0 and had Pete Skipper sent off. The local paper up here said we'd been "given a taste of what is needed to succeed in the Second Division"

The corner of the Barclay (left side as you faced the pitch from that end) was the away section for as long as I can remember (starting in '75) until the big new stand was built and away fans were moved in to the end section adjacent to the old away end.
