Warming up before a Luton Town game in April 1981.  Hugh Hastings/Getty pictures.

 

I have posted an article from this blog before can't remember if this is the one. Goes to show how our attendances suffered but we weren't alone if Chelsea had managed to be a successful club after 75 I believe our attendances would have been 30-35,000 every season.

FA Cup 4th Rd Replay v Preston North End in early Feb 1969. Played on a Monday at 3pm!

We had a crowd of 36,522. Not bad for a Monday afternoon.

Won 2-1,our goals scored in the 89th and 90th mins !!

Found this when looking for something else entirely

 

 

 

My mate sent me this it's from Twitter don't know who from so can't credit them with a great picture. It's the White City estate where another mate of mine is one of the caretakers pretty sure it's where Dennis Wise was brought up. The other one probably posted before is against West Ham 1980 a bad day on and off the pitch.

Juvenile prices of admission back then were deemed those aged Under 14 years of age!

Up in Scotland it was those aged Under 16 years of age!!

Amazing price comparison from 1982/83 to the present day ones.
