Is that Oakie’s over 65s ticket?

Half a Crown for a footie match, bloody marvellous :)

That's about £4 in today's money. Bargain!

A U.K. Inflation calculator shows that £1 in 1947 would equate to £33.07 today, so my maths suggests that same ticket should be just under a Fiver “in today’s money!”

Eight half crowns in a pound so I think my £4 is nearer the mark ;-) (I used the same calculator!)

I left bang on 90 because our trains are that shit I didn't want to wait at a train station getting pissed wet through for an hour for the sake of 5 minutes.

Ye but players got paid about £12 a week so that would be £396.84! They are on 1000times more.

I can well remember the Platt Lane leaving early and the top of the Kippax singing to them.... We can see you sneaking out...it's nice of you to come etc.

"Part-time Supporters" was the popular refrain IIRC.

The Metrolink queue for trams back to Manchester started well before the ‘sheep pens’ on Wednesday. People were sneaking in all along the line. Is it any wonder that those of us that depend on this pile of shite for getting to and from the Etihad decide to leave before the final whistle?
