How Much To Watch Your First Albion Game?

[Blackadder]

I think it was 15p as a junior. (Pat Sayward was the manager v Wrexham). The program was 5p which included the League Review. I know I could get the train from Haywards Heath, get in to the game and buy a program for less than 50P

****Puts on Northern Accent***

Aye them were the days but you try telling that to the youth of today.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

I cant remember exactly but i know that my first season ticket cost £40!!!!

 

[Kenhead]

Doesn't say on the ticket stubb.

But whatever an under 16 was at Gillingham.

 

[the wanderbus]

Not my first game but whenI first went with my mates I used to save my dinner money all week( £1.25) and get a wanderbus ticket from Crowborough to the ground(65p) a couple of doughnuts in Hove park cafe(10p) a programme (15p) & a quality game of football (35p)............but christ was I skinny!

35p for the North stand somewhen in the mid '70s. I was 14.
Can't remember who we were playing.
The only thing I can remember is Fred Binney recieving the ball on the 6 yard line with the goalkeeper sprawled on the ground elsewhere.
The North Stand crowd shouted "Don't give it to Binney!"...
...and he put it way over the bar of an empty net into the crowd.

Why did I go back the following week? God knows.

One shilling (5p) in 1962 to stand on the Chicken Run . An extra sixpence (2.5p) to transfer to the North Stand or South Stand (terracing)

 

[cjd]

a shilling (5p) in the chicken run for juniors

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Aldershot at home about 35p. Main stand paddock. 74/75 ?

 

[Porky]

I think it was about one and threepence for an adultut can't think what it was for a nipper like me.

 

[Caveman]

£1.50 I think, but unfortuantely too many substances have entered my brain since then.

 

[Rangdo]

I am pretty sure it was £2-£4 for a kid in 1990. However, I always had someone to take care of the finances then, so I could be wrong.

I remember paying £8 towards the end of The Goldstone, so that would tally.

Yeah, my first game was 91 and I'm sure it was £4 for a junior and £8 for an adult. Although my old man paid it anyway so it was free really

 

[SeagullTim]

Around £11 IIRC

 

[Bobby's Gull]

however much it would have been in '92!

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Pre-decimal but can't remember the price. As mentioned above, you could get in the uncovered East and transfer, for a small fee, into the covered parts of the ground.

 

[Questions]

25p in 1970.

5 bob then not 25p

15p for me too with a 13p train fare from worthing which we bunked most weeks and 4 or 5p for a crappy hotdog/burger. No change there then.

1s 3d.

 

[pasty]

I think it was 35p for me as an Under 16 in about 73/74

Programme was either 5p or 10p I think

I first went in Feb 1974, and I thought it was 25p. Could be wrong though, dad paid.

 

[steve-c]
