Lots of talk in the media today about the cost of watching football matches.
Sorting through some programmes the other day and came across the 1967 F A Cup 5th Round v Liverpool. First Saturday evening game I remember, 7pm kick off. Famous for also being shown on big screens at Anfield. 64,000 ish at Goodison and about 40,000 across Stanley Park. Loved that era with Ball and Alex Young in the same side.
Couldn't find the ticket to see how much it was to get in but the programme cost 6d old money, now about 2p. Other prices from within the programme, converted to new money: coach to Tottenham £1.80, 2year old Mk10 Jag £1575, half ounce tobacco 30p, 7 pint can bitter 75p. Mind you average wage was probably about £15 per week - good days though to be a kid supporting the Blues. We won of course.

{Ed025's Note - of course with that side ted....thanks for sharing mate..
