During the 1970s and 80s the stadium became increasingly dilapidated . The Meadow Lane End was demolished in 1978 and replaced by a building which housed new dressing rooms , a social club and a variety of other facilities designed to generate more income . There was no stand at this end for several years and Meadow Lane was reduced to a three sided ground . Eventually a small terrace was installed on this side . The Bradford City stadium fire and Hillsborough disaster brought the safety of football stadia into the public gaze and eventually the Taylor Report required that football clubs modernise their grounds . Meadow Lane was subsequently redeveloped during the early 1990s , although the work was planned before the report was issued . The Meadow Lane End , County Road Stand and Spion Kop were all demolished in the 1992 close season and replaced with the '' Family Stand '' , the '' Jimmy Sirrel Stand '' and the '' Spion Kop Stand '' respectively . The Main Stand was replaced during the close season of 1994 by the '' Derek Pavis Stand ''
