How we had a cheap Semi Final Day

[Wynyard Owl]

I’ve been to lots of Semi Finals and for me, our ground holds the finest memories from boy to man

Years ago tickets were sold on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t unknown for keen supporters to queue overnight to buy their allocation of ticket's

young lads  were early so that they could buy and go round to buy again 

often spares were bought for supporters living away and they added a bob  or two to the ticket price so that the young ‘uns could afford to go to the match

to swell  the funds to buy a programme, drink bottles were collected and returned to the shop to collect the deposit

IMO it was good to see the so called lesser teams battle it out for a trip to Wembley

I think we have lost a good experience by using Wembley for the Semi Finals and it wouldn’t bother me one jot if the so called big teams  were to leave the competition

such is progress
