Colonel Mustard 380 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 You can just see the admission price on this 1959 picture of Firhill.Two and a tanner for a league game, so six bob a few years later for a glamour game might be about right...although it would have been knocking the arse out of it a bit.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Getting a lift was your birthright.I wouldn't like to lift some of today's fat weans over right enough. I was getting a lift until I was about 14, and starting to get a bit big for it. Once the guys in the queue started taking the piss by saying "you could gie me a lift son", it was time to start paying in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
