Station Stand - A seated section for away fans , holding roughly 250 away fans Whilst Gay Meadow was well regarded by fans , and traditionalists within the English game , the ground was in a cramped location between the River Severn and a major railway junction . In addition , access to the ground was restricted to a narrow side street known locally as ' the Narrows . The poor access , and poor scope for evacuation in the case of emergency , meant that the capacity of the ground was cut to 8,000 by the early 1990s following stricter ground safety regulations that followed the Bradford City stadium fire of 1985 and the Taylor Report which followed the Hillsborough disaster of 1989
