Just put junior Kippax ( £9 ) into an inflation calculator up to end of this year. It is now worth £39.60.
We were in the top division, and a couple of seasons before, we got to QF of League cup two seasons running and QF of the UEFA Cup, so it wasn't down with the dead men. Why then do kids pay hundreds a season to watch football matches ?
Inflation has already been accounted for to get to £39.60. Jimmy Hill is the reason. A footballer should be on a liveable wage, but more than a Surgeon, Barrister, Firefighter etc ?

You have a point but they don’t have 60,000 people turn up watch them live and millions of people on TV when they go to work.Just put junior Kippax ( £9 ) into an inflation calculator up to end of this year. It is now worth £39.60.

This was my first year as a season ticket holder which my parents bought me for my 16th birthday in the Kippax. Sill a season ticket holder now in the east stand. Its been a rollercoaster of a ride down the years and never dreamed that I would see us winning 8 league titles and the European cup. Living the dream

500 players in the EPL generating multi-billions. They deserve a fair slice of the pie. The money is only there because "the market" wants "the product"You have a point but they don’t have 60,000 people turn up watch them live and millions of people on TV when they go to work.

I was H Outer in those days - or H Right as it became at the top of the Main Stand towards the Platt Lane side. Graduated to a Platt Lane season ticket for 83/84 and finally a Kippax one for 84/85 as at age 14 was deemed old enough to Stand by my Dad.
