On the Kippax half way up on the centre line
Even in Swales dodgy dealings days it wasn't cheaper to pay on the day than have a season ticket.Only ever remembered standing on the Kippax. Halfway up about 20 yds from the away fans ( just far enough from the bottles from the scousers ). The exception being after we'd won the League cup when I was down the front ready for the invasion. Managed to get a piece of turf and planted in my dads lawn. He let me off......Had a season ticket for £14.00 or IIRC it was 40p on the day. Happy days.
Christ! £14! You must be loaded. I used to do the Kippax with my Uncle (who was a rag) for 25p under 14's. Eventually as I got older my first Season ticket was £7 junior blue concession in Platt Lane. The season we bought Channon I'd moved to the North Stand at £12 for my ST. I was only 12, used to go on my own by getting the bus from Crumpsall to city centre then another bus to the ground. In latter years I'd cycle and stick me bike in the Kippax back yards. When I think about it now at that age I dont even let my kids out of my sight. When I started work I had to give up the season ticket due to working weekends, but would go when I could. Last season ticket started in Main Stand during the 90's. Found a friendly barman who would give me my money back as change when I got a pint. That was ok for a few years then suddenly he disappeared, wonder why?! Mind you the beer was shite and wasnt worth the money anyway.Only ever remembered standing on the Kippax.

Pretty sure my first season as adult season ticket holder 1977 it was £11 on the Kippax and 70p to pay in on the day.Christ! £14! You must be loaded.
