Never stood over on that corner myself (always a Street Ender - or sat in the seats for reserve games) but the side of the stand was glazed so think that anyone stood with it in their way could see through it. And it would only be those stood in a relatively small area (far back and right next to the stand wall) that would have been affected.
I was in the Street end for the late 70s early 80’s (except when I bought a ticket off a tout for the Man City Cup match to find it was for the Laundry End!).
From what I remember the glass panels were pretty dirty!

Love that the Laundry End had no roof.
Are there any roofless stands left in the football league?
Prestfield I think

Oh yeah. Nothing to romanticise about that though. Surprised the uk open hasn’t asked for that stand back yet.
Also the side at Forrest green

Thanks for the heads up, Think I’ll give that one a miss if it’s in the middle of winter.

Why do you love it ?
If the away end at Bescot had no roof you’d moan about it.
Just had character.
I think our away end should have two tiers like the home end. Have good facilities to fleece the away fans. No more faffing giving them the side of the ground.

Bristol Rovers is an open terrace on the side you do get seats behind the goal undercover. Newport is an open terrace if I remember rightly, although I’d had a few drinkies that game. Swindon has an open end with no seats but other than the day we won the title there away fans have been in the seats on the side the last 5 or 6 times I have been there.
