A lad from another club told me the lads at his Club slip a Bloke on the Turnstile at a Northern Club and get in for £5 each I'm talking 50+ lads every home game sweet as a Nut ! lol I remember in the 80's it went on at Loads of Clubs!

No Names no pact drill !!

When we were at Kilbowie it was common knowledge that old Bobby would let you in if you bought a couple of 25p lottery cards off him :lol: Sadly he passed away earlier this year :(

Back in the early nineties City did not have a game so five of us went up to see Liverpool against Chelsea. We bunged a Steward ten quid as it was an all ticket game and we sat in the Anfield Road End. Not forgetting a two quid tax for some kid to mind the Car. :D

I know someone who did it nearly every game for about 5 years!!, straight up to turnstiles in grandstand, bung em a tenner and away you go. When we went up to Highbury in the fa cup a couple of years ago he even did it there, no questions asked, straight in.
