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

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

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)

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 :)

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.

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.
