What year was this chief? Must be somewhere between 71 & 76 I'm guessing.

I went for the Burnley relegation. Must be between '71 & '74 then.

Just checked - you're right, 73-74 season, when the Rags were relegated! What was confusing me is that there are 21 rather than 22 teams on that list, the missing one is QPR so it must have been produced by them.

It was 40p in the kippax when I started.
In 1974 you could get a pint for 25p

It was actually more expensive than that when you factor in the 2p you had to pay to park your push bike the old ladies back yard near the Kippax.

Can't remember much about when I started going but we didn't have ' New pence'. Probably cost something like half a crown (or 2 shillings & sixpence.)

Ist City match I ever went to was pre-season 1st team v Reserves at Maine Rd.
Kids price into the (uncovered) was about a tanner...6d...(two and half pence).
Think ther adult price was about a shilling...12d...(5p).

In 1968, Everton had a boys area and all other parts of the ground were full price. I remember thinking that they were robbing bastards...they charged us 4/-...20p.

My first season ticket (junior) at Maine Road was for the 73/74 season and although the actual book (season ticket was a small, soft cover book of tear-out paper tickets with the game's specific number) has long since been lost I seem to remember the price was £4 for the Kippax.
Selnec bus fare for kids was 2p to anywhere inside Greater Manchester! If we had no cash we'd do a 'sweep' of the Kippax after the match and always found the bus fare home.
