If a strong gust of wind blew up, that lad in the sash shirt would end up on air traffic control's radars. Dig those flares (and the scarves tied around the wrist) maaan!

There was no youporn in them days. It’s was either a football match or an embarrassing transaction in your local newsagents.

Dont think you can even go to a game unnatended under the age of 14 now anyway regardless of being able to afford it.

It’s sanitised bullshit now.

Was talking about this to my mates the other day

£50 for an individual ticket to a game..that’s like going to a top music gig

I remember paying £50 to a tout outside Maine Rd for the derby in 89 and that was a lot of money to me at the time

Plus like previously stated..you can’t just rock up and pay on the door these days

£14 for a season ticket in the Kippax or (IIRC) 40p at the turnstiles. I think that included cup matches and the reserves.

Saw some photos of young City fans from the 70s yesterday and was thinking it something you dont see any more .
Remember bus fulls of young Blues used to go from Middleton, Blackley ,Prestwich ,Whthenshawe ect home and away .In the pubs and on football specials fans ages were on average 14 year old to 23 year old .Away ends were full of youngsters as was the Kippax .The average age of the fans were the same at grounds up and down the country .
Watched the protests at West Ham yesterday and hardly any youngsters were to be seen .suppose it the sign of the times and maybe going to football games in all weathers doesnt apeall to the youngsters of today in the numbers it used to.Maybe thats another reason why atmospheres at grounds arent what they used to be.

They can’t just wash a couple of cars and pay in nowadays it’s sad imo
