The Kippax

The Kippax

The Kippax was one of the most well known and vocally active terraced stands at Manchester City's Maine Road Ground. Originally the Popular Stand its name was changed in 1957. The Kippax was unusual in that unlike in most other grounds, this area of passionate support occupied a full side rather than an end of the ground. In 1994 due to the Taylor Report the new redeveloped, all seater stand was opened by City legend Bert Trautmann. It housed 10,000 fans, had three tiers and was at the time the highest stand in the country. [http://www.english-football.org.uk/stadiums-grounds/maine-road/]

The club left the Maine Road ground in 2003 and moved to the new City of Manchester Stadium, also known as Eastlands. This of course bought the end for one of City's most loved stands, The Kippax. Unofficially the East stand in the new stadium is also named Kippax.
