Could you get a refund back in the day?
I'd guess that sign says No Money Refunded 😊Quote:

Ha! I remember entering the ground there.....and definitely NO money refunded. Used to walk under the Grange End to the top corner right by the toilets - it was a good bit higher than the terracing below. Think I used to pay sixpence to get in.....
Great photo. Don't think I've seen that one before.
A couple more in this world renowned series, although less old

ignore this, I tried to upload a bigger version of the team one but failed
Those were the days. When I first started going down the City it used to cost five shillings to get in.Quote:

Totally unrelated, but does anyone remember where Ferris Row was - or got a photo, please.
There’s some Likely Lads on here who should know.Quote:

I've scoured all the usual websites, and all the maps I can find, and can't see any trace of this. How do you know about it? I'm not doubting you - just wondering how it came to your attention.
My son is away at Uni at the moment, but I usually sit next to the same guy - though he's a lot older than my boy! Maybe it was someone else...
Thanks for looking.Quote:

Memories of when one was very young. Attended my first match on my own as an eleven year old 57/58 season. Liverpool game that season and the entrance gates saw more people trying to get in than have attended recent home cup games.Quote:
