    Following on from the thread about standing in the Brewery Stand, what's the least amount you've had to pay for a football match?

    I used to go and watch Northampton Town a few times when I was younger and I think the least I paid was £5.

    U18's ticket away at brentford in the league 1 promotion season, t'was £3. Coach was £15.

    We lost 3-1 but tommy wright scored. Don't remember him scoring any more than that.

    One farthing - barnsley v gawber rangers 1887

    Finished 0-0

    one farthing equals one quarter of one old penny and there are 12 old pennies in 5p. So one farthing equals 1/960th of £1

    When my Father died, we had to go through all the paperwork he'd accumulated over the years. Amongst it all, for some reason, was a junior season ticket of mine for the 1974/75 season in the Fourth Division. It was for the Ponty End wing stand in what is now the West Stand Upper. The price was £5.

    I can beat that! I have no idea why I did it but I got a season ticket for the 1965/66 season. If cost £3. The reason it was so expensive was that it was centre stand. I was taken up there to choose my seat. I picked one right next to the Directors Box. 12 year old boy, taken up there by the Club Secretary - pick a seat, anywhere I chose! Fourth Division, 2,000 crowds if we were lucky. These were dark, dark days. Extinction almost. But for Messrs Buckle and Dennis stepping in it would have been

    The first ever Sunday match at oakwell was FREE but you had to pay for the programme as I remember to get round the Sunday trading laws
    don,t know why but I seem to think it was against Chester city , I seemed like 20,000 had turned up that first Sunday match.
