[Albion] Paper Season Tickets

[Driver8]

Just found one of my old Goldstone Season Tickets.

I do remember paper ones too where we tore numbered vouchers out.

I always thought a season ticket was unaffordable @ the Goldstone, and you never needed one, you could always get in . . . . albeit sometimes at half 1 or 2 o'clock.

I only had one for the first season on the terracing, as most of us weren't too sure what the demand would be.

I went travelling for the second season.

After that I used to just turn up on the day to any match I wanted to go to (not cup games, they were deemed more important). In our final season in the First Division we used to get some sub-10,000 crowds.

Isn't that just a membership card. I have a few of those but only once had a season ticket 1996/7 and it was a small red booklet thing.

I think they changed back to paper ones. Pretty sure that was all we needed for the North Stand that season.

This is the back.

I'll just go upstairs and check, be back in a couple of days!

I think the Goldstone tickets were printed.The club will surely allow print at home versions. Line for the city match.

Well certainly my first few Season Tickets at the Goldstone were hand written, (1980's), as were, come to think of it, bothe season's at Preistfield.

Inscribed on papyrus l believe.

I had a season ticket from about '77 until the late eighties when I picked and chose locations. I thought they were cheaply printed, usually on coloured paper. I don't recall anything handwritten.

Unless you mean your name was the handwritten part at the start of the book and the rest printed?

If l remember correctly, (a long time ago now), for one or two seasons at least, the season ticket was akin to a book of vouchers, one voucher was torn out by the turnstile operator for each game.

Then again, that could have been for the Priestfield years, who knows.

I only travelled as a on-off to Priestfield as I was living in Liverpool for that time and followed the Albion at away matches. But the tear off voucher thing is one I remember well from the Goldstone. I don't recall the other type but there again I was only 10 in 1977.
