North Stand = Longside; East Stand = Bee Hole, later renamed Jimmy Mac.

North Stand - or Longside - opened 23rd April 1996 v Bristol Rovers, that was the first day our ground was actually all seater because they immediately closed the Bee Hole terrace.
East Stand - now Jimmy Mac - should have opened for start of 1996/97 season but remained closed for first two games due to not having received safety certificate.

I would say its the current James Hargreaves Lower section. My current seat is in JHL-Block NL6 which is just to the left of the half way line so at a guess this ticket will be on the front row about 12 seats in on the left from the gangway (I think).

'...but remained closed for first two games due to not having received safety certificate...'
we should've requested the affected home fixtures were played at Anfield!
