Yeah, but were they paid for even though you were 'given' them?

Bloody hell that was a frightening place when you are 7.
Thank God my Dad was there to get me out.
Nearly as bad as the ABC minors.  |

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

My Dad used to do the same for me.
Don't remember when I actually started having to pay to get in.
Think I was about 18. |

Not sure what the average wage was then on account of being a small boy, but in comparison junior admission price has gone up from 3d to £5 (for the big one). With eighty 3d's in a pound that means the current price is 400 times more expensive. I don't think wages have gone up that much. |

| Quote: Wigan/Leeds Andy "St Pats corner - just under the scoreboard.'"
I was always led to believe the Hen Pen was the middle section, not the corner? If you look at old Central Park pics you will see a walled off section starting at the tunnel going towards the popular side, about 20metres wide. Byt the time I started going it wasn't officially in use any more so I might well be wrong. |

Yes the turnstiles were just to the left of the old clubhouse. It was just left of centre. |
