There was a lot of criticism about the East Stand at Filbert Street. It was the size of a bike shed. Well okay.
Compared to the Double Decker and Main Stand/Carling Stand it let the side down. Martin O’Neill always said that he would make potential new signings walk out of the tunnel backwards so that they didn’t see it before they had signed. But bear this in mind…
It was built by one bloke with a pickaxe and another bloke with a wheelbarrow. So really it was quite some architectural achivement…
