oldtawnyowl Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm pretty sure that these are the original shareholder match day passes. IIRC these passes admitted the shareholder plus one juvenile, I seem to remember seeing a row of kids behind the South Stand hoping to be taken in by one of the 'wealthy' When I was a lad (long time ago) the father of one of my mates was friendly with an original shareholder and if, for any reason, he wasn't going to the game he used to lend him the token. So off we would go with the token securely chained to my mates belt and him threatened with the good hiding of his life if he lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
