=== All-seater stadium === At the beginning of the 1990s, after considering moving to a new stadium, and a total redevelopment of Filbert Street which would have seen the pitch rotated by 90 degrees, onto the car park behind the Main Stand, City opted to build a new Main Stand, demolishing the existing structure in the summer of 1993. It was anticipated that further modernisation work would take place in the future. Completed in December 1993, the Carling Stand held 9,500 seated spectators and expanded corporate facilities, costing Β£6 million. In 1994, the final terraced area β the Kop β was converted to seating giving Filbert Street an all-seated capacity of 21,500, and bringing it into compliance with the [[Taylor Report]] which required all [[Premier League]] and [[Football League First Division|Division One]] teams to have all-seater capacity.
