Two classic away ends gone

Peterborough and Bristol City, as shown on the Football league show tonight. Good memories of both: Bristol City in particular (covered corner) which had a very low rake and i can only imagine was one of the best when full. The distinctiveness of an away end was a key feature of the classic away days of a bygone age. Doubt anything more than a bland plastic bucket will replace these so thought it worth noting their passing.

I'm sure I read somewhwere Bristol council has approved "bench seating" for their away end when it's built? (maybe I dreamt it?)
