The buzzing atmosphere and ending up 20 feet from where you stood after a surge.

Oh and sneaking in as an under 16 when I was older (and 6 months pregnant)
Did the same (not pregnant though
) even after a skin full down the pub.
What happy memories that brings back.

Standing in the middle of the North stand with my new missus, for our match against Arsenal when we finally reached Division One.
Looked around, and realised there were lots, and lots of faces, Id never seen before, and none of them wearing scarves....left the stand, and then a cop tried to stop us moving anywhere...said to him..its about to kick off in there...he started to answer..and it kicked off.

They even patted me down on the way in and didn't twig. Imagine them doing that to kids now!
Do you think we contributed to the financial crisis?

Crowd surges, it'll never be the same without them! I used to love standing towards the back of the North Stand and then ending up down near the front after a goal was scored with my feet hardly touching the ground! Happy days!
The same.
Was just a boy, and never scared of getting injured. The tightly squeezed crowds meant you couldn't really fall to the concrete and get hurt.
(Also loved the same type of scrum at the front of punk and new wave gigs at the Top Rank Suite etc.)
Regarding those toilets with the corrugated tin roofs, didn't they use to have no roofs on at all, or am I wrong?
My first evening game, Rochdale in the 71-72 promotion season, two ob let me and a mate stand on a stanchion at the back and lean on their shoulders so we could see, I was 12

It was a bloody big blade whatever it was. Frightened the life out of me, and I remember the brave copper who dived in and disarmed him!

Not the last time that a member of your family has smuggled a dodgy bottle of something into a football ground I believe!
Meeting my first wife, that aside mostly they're good memories of the North Stand.
Sunderland? I remember sitting on the wall at the bottom of the north-east terrace, and hopped smartly onto the touchline after the second went in. Must have been '77, before the fences?
