Went for a few beers at the pub nearby, the one with the crown bowling green in the garden. When we got to the turnstiles before the game the old fella taking the money told us to chuck the kids over the turnstile because he was disgusted at the club charging nippers full price. Decent people, sad to see them go, I fear for them.
3-3 draw, if I recall, Tony Bird getting a couple.
