In hindsight it was a great opportunity spurned. Smoking ruined my footy for most of my 20s. I gave up aged 28 and started playing again back home, but it wasn’t as good as answering the question “who are you playing on Sunday?” with “we’ve got Rangers away”.

It’s set aside for big away followings, otherwise it’s home fans, school free tickets etc. Still can’t serve alcohol cos there’s no concourse hence why it’s so seldom used. Sitting in the Kop a game is always better when that end is full, whoever is in it.
