That's not actually so far from the truth.
If you look at the original 1997 plans, the away supporters we going to be at the other end. I even think they started selling Season Tickets in May 98 with that in mind.
But the police objected as they wanted away fans' coaches to be able to park closer to the exits (ditto getting police in and arrested fans out quickly) and so the away fans' stand was hurriedly changed.
