They really were death traps and I was and still am glad to see the back of them.

Frankly I am surprised that there were so few incidents when looking back and remembering the state of the grounds, policing and general behaviour.

Possibly the relatively low crowds of that era meant that the potential dangers were mitigated.
Exactly, that’s what I was getting at in my post. We City fans got away with it, if you like, in those massive crowds against the likes of Leeds, Arsenal etc in the late 60s/early 70s. Even more so in the 60 thousand + crowds in earlier years. There but for the grace of God.
