Crabbycanary3 994 Posted April 17, 2018 Isn''t that a euphemism for child abuse, subjecting them little blighters to that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted April 17, 2018 Does it, as usual, include season ticket holders who don''t go?That is the only factor which has kept their official "gate" above single figures on a few occasions this season. We do it as well as all clubs. The regulars are usually adept at calculating the real gate though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted April 17, 2018 "All supporters under the age of 19 are able to watch the game for just £1".Blimey, when we did it, it was for under-12''s. [:S]I reckon there will be several 19/25''s taking this up, and why wouldn''t they? They won''t get turned away. [<:o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STFU 0 Posted April 17, 2018 My brother told me that he used to see grown men at a London ground-I think it was Stamford Bridge-in the 70s shaving before going in through the Under 16s turnstiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CANARYKING 634 Posted April 17, 2018 Before the River End was developed there used to be a door where Police Officers could get in free, I once saw an old boy about 90 walk up to the door and say “ C.I.D. “ and was let in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted April 17, 2018 Plod may well be kept busy at poorman road on Saturday as I expect a few Villa will get in various home stands.And any number of binners may well turn up expecting to get in for a quid mistakenly thinking the ''19'' refers to IQ.And our fine City and ground has all too often seen what drinking on an empty head can do to these young farmhands.A few sups of the moonshine and they''ll be hopping around like the annual village idiots hoe down.
