The "good old days" when they showed the attendance at a game.Over 35,000 at Eastville. Also,on some of the results an amount of cash is shown £. I could guess it's how much £ was taken on the gate,but I don't know. Anyone have the answer please? |

Some of the matches show the cash receipts for the game.
55,100 people were at Highbury, generating revenue of £9819.
With Messi's present deal, rumoured to be £1m a week, he's being paid £99.20 a minute 24 hours a day, 7 days. So his wages to play 90 mins are £8928, then of course an extra £1488 for half time.
Things have changed a bit.

If Esmond Million counted up the takings, my best guess would be that there was around 2 shillings and thruppance. |

May be a Brizzle thing? We always said Thruppence. But either way, Esmond just realised that he needed 20 fags, so the day's takings are now down to 1 Shilling 7 pence ha'penny. |

Not ASDA price then..( other supermarkets are available) Not a smoker, but isn't it getting up towards a tenner now for 20 fags? Esmond is going to have to dip in to some of that £300 'bung' money he took. |

My mother's continual " crack across the head" upon returning home from school at 14years old was enough to convince me that smoking damages your health!! , and can only thank her for getting me to stop..as for the cost I know they are disgustingly dear and don't know how some people can afford them

Looks like having bat ears was en-vogue in Bedford in 1956. Attachments:

Now they have no signage i don't know which is which so i just asked how much a pack of 20 is now and was flabbergasted that they are £14. That would be enough to out me off anyway. I do vape though but for the benefit i get with the Crohn’s disease. It costs me very little too and they even allowed me to vape in hospital anyway, back on topic, i remember not being allowed to go V Stoke, i think and my family, men anyway, all went, people were on the pitch and all. I was never lucky enough to go to any 30,000 games as i was deemed too young by family. Would be great to have had those memories but i do remember a couple over 20,000 |
