    1992. I got married that year and we had reception at Metrodome. Remember standing on balcony pre-speech gazing out over Oakwell with building work ongoing :)

    West Stand was sometime during the 1994/95 season, seats on the Kop before the start of the same season.

    Didn't Birse build the North Stand in 1999? I thought Miller Construction did the East Stand (as you say in 1992-93) and Taylor-Woodrow the Ponty End during 1995?

    I’d say around 93/94. The new North Stand was for the 99/00 season.

    I think the North Stand (and part of West Stand ) were filled by Sunderland in 99/00 towards the end of the season.
    They won and clinched the title

    The Spion Kop was a strange shape! Never really noticed before just how lopsided it was.
