The standing Gwladys street in full throng v the dreaded!
 
I reckon 'The Shelf' was probably 1 of the last of those huge terraces down 1 side of a ground (Kippax too), I remember when I saw it in 85/86 heaving & thinking how big it appeared, it was the tv camera side so unless you went there it was hard to know it existed, away end was awful though as was cage in & the bit behind the goal stepped back (disabled section I think) obscuring the view, and if you stood further back there was a copper in the middle on a raised bit blocking you, got pelted with all kinds of loose change from seats behind as well.

Lineker's first ever goal for us, a diving header into the corner of the net about 10 mins from time. I'm was about 10 yds in front of him there! An August Bank Holiday Monday fixture.
