I think they could charge for a team sheet but not actual stadium admission.
Went on the coach and it was mayhem in the car park afterwards as our coaches were parked on the opposite side of the ground to where our fans were standing.
Great days watching Lancy at OT in the early 70s on Sundays 40 overs and we nearly always won.I don’t remember this game but that was the set up at the John Player Sunday League at Lancs. They couldn’t charge admission on a Sunday but sold programmes for a very similar amount to what admission might have been. Legally it wasn’t compulsory to buy one but I’m not sure how far you’d get if you insisted you didn’t want to buy one?
Don't think there is any footage of this match anywhere.Not on the box mate,but I think it was our first ever Sunday game.
I was there with loads of mates from Handforth and we got split up at half time came back after a brew to be surrounded by forest fans, scary af. I got lobbed out by old bill just before kick off and just paid to get back in. The forest fans just waited for us at the end of the bridge. Eventually just charged them en masse and took our chances..Including our kid.
Every fan in England sang 'we hate Nottingham Forest'Always a lot of Agro at forest
Are you sure about Frank Clark playing? He was a Newcastle player at that time and played in the Cup Final that season for them when they lost 0-3 to Liverpool. I know he joined Forest later and won many trophies with them.I was at the game as a 14 year old with Dad on a coach from Ashton u Lyne ,Duncan Mckenzie was just unbelievable future manager Frank Clark was also playing. It kicked off before during and after the match with a few fans ending up in the Trent.
