Forest - Liverpool in 1980. The newly built Executive Stand (now Brian Clough Stand) is open and crammed with people whilst still waiting for the roof to be completed. For those too young to remember all the fans who are packed in around the floodlight and under the scoreboard are Liverpool fans as that was the away end at the time.

Seeing that Floodlight, brought back memories for me, Thats where I watched with my Grandad when I first went, around 1964 ish, first barrier in front of Floodlight.

Just realised the entire side of the upper tier is missing too. Can you Imagine that happening today?

Was there no away end in those days then Joe?

Not really, I remember the Everton Fans in the famous match which we won 3-2, were in the East Stand Terrace towards the Trent End, I was in amongst them, crowds were mixed in those days.
Not sure when it changed to designated areas.

Potential carnage. Or was there no such thing as a hooligan in the 60's?

I was at the game and actually sat in the stand we lost 0-2.

Speaking of home defeats, can anyone remember a home game against Newcastle in the early/mid eighties when we got beaten? 

We lost the game after that little Brazilian striker of theirs scored. I can distinctly remember Steve Chettle trying to play him offside but got it completely wrong and the guy scored a winner when he got put through. 

I mention it because I often think about how utterly devastated I was at the time seeing Forest lose a home game. It just didn't happen then, or hadn't happened for quite a long time at least. A bit different to today unfortunately.
