This is a bit of an odd and I imagine easily answered one, but I was watching Steve Wray's excellent recap of our 1997 promotion season on YouTube and noticed that bar a few games, the traditional away end is empty - where were the away fans?
During the Premier League season was the Spion Kop all seated? I seem to remember terracing on the top half.
Thought so, cheers. Very considerate of us, watching from an open north stand in Winter wouldn't have been a pleasant experience...
