Re: Season tickets next season
My over 65 ticket in Longside Upper Wings is up from £285 to £357, a 25% increase I believe. As previously mentioned senior tickets elsewhere increased by even more. This after a shocking season and likely to be watching an inferior league next season. Most of the elderly fans will have been followi...

Re: Your favourite FA Cup tie
The first FA Cup game I attended, late 60s, at home to Derby. Still one of the dirtiest games I've ever seen, they set out to kick Ralph Coates off the pitch from the first minute. I think John O'Hare got sent off, possibly someone else too. From memory we won 3-1. I recall Hinton and Hector wearing...
