Christ, back that far my united season ticket worked out at less than £20 a game.

could have been anywhere between 2000-2009 in fairness, my memory is shot to shit frankly.

Had a brummie bloke up here working a couple of years, big Wolves & got a Hibs season ticket when he was up here. I took him to a junior game & he said that was "proper football"
