hasthagotanycheese Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Old mester Randall used to let me & my Grandad through one of the big gates into the South stand back in the late 70s. Always missed the first 5 minutes but didnt pay a penny to watch Wednesday for about 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesdayok Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 52 minutes ago, prowl said: I lived on Penistone Road as a kid. My best mate and I used to go to Hillsborough when there was a match on and wait until they opened the gates to let people out. They usually did that about 15 minutes before the end so we got to watch the last quarter of an hour for free. Sunderland fans do that 35 minutes in I heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any similar stories? Went to a few Rotherham games where everyone scrambled over the turnstiles on the Tivoli end. Was quite disappointed when I first had to pay.
