It was originally an uncovered terrace and stayed that way up until 1964 when the roof off the old Handsworth side stand was 'transferred'.

The 1993/94 season saw the terrace used for the last time for the League Division One game against Grimsby Town on April 30.

The current all-seater stand took approximately eight months to build and was opened on Boxing Day 1994 for the League Division One game against Bristol City.

The Birmingham Road End and the Smethwick End stands were built at a reported combined cost of £4.6 million. Walsall based Kendrick Construction Group the company responsible for both structures.

The current capacity of the stand is 8,286 compared to 14,000 the terrace was once capable of housing.

From 1994 up until 2004 the stand was known as the Apollo 2000 Stand due to a sponsorship deal the club signed with the electrical appliance dealer.
