Ah the good old days - some positive things some not so good. Pluses Ground used to fill up by half hour before kick-off as was standing and to get a decent spot you couldn't turn up at KO. Nearer an hour before for OF games. Sensible amount fo drink was able to be "smuggled" in so again no on one sat in the pub until 5 minutes to kick off Crowds were much bigger (I am talking OF games) and the away support had about 1/3 of the the ground so much more "banter". For banter read abuse. Standing crowds just leads to better atmosphere. Negatives Idiots throwing bottles and cans Idoits pissing down your leg as you watched the game The crushes and the dangers that brought each time there was an incident on the park. Not a place you would take your wife/girl or kids. never got hit with a can or bottle never got pissed on and the wifes stayed home.
