Day 6 of my posts counting down to the centenary of Maine Road’s opening game asked you to name the year this aerial photo was taken. I gave a few clues which may help date this:
- None of the temporary stands have yet been constructed in the corners
- The MCFC lettering appears at the bottom section of the North Stand
- The Souvenir Shop still appears to be operational and doesn’t look like it’s been turned into offices yet
- Both the Platt Lane Stand and the Kippax have been replaced BUT what about the end panelling of the Kippax? Is that complete?
The answer is 1995.
