Maine Road 100 – Day 31

It’s day 31 of my posts counting down to the centenary of Maine Road’s opening game. Today – An aerial view, but what’s the year?

I’ll give the answer tomorrow but a few clues:

• The North Stand had yet to be built
• The central part of the Main Stand roof is the original one
• The original floodlights are in the corners
• The Welcome To Maine Road sign has not yet been erected

Most of the above have been discussed on previous Maine Road 100 days so have a look back and see if you can work out the year. Comment below with your guesses. Answer tomorrow. Thanks

Here’s a view from 1971 to compare with the above.
