[Football] Craven Cottage 197? "We all agree, £1.50's a rip-off!"

Does anybody remember us singing this? Young NSCers might think we were referring to the cost of the programme when in fact it was the admission price. At a time when every other club charged £1.25, Fulham decided it was worth the extra to stand on their open terrace. If you'd told any of them that one day they might pay £50 to watch the Albion there, they would have laughed in your face!

Paid the extra and sat in the neutral stand. Parked by the pub south of the bridge, walked by the river and watched Peter Ward excite the neutrals from the new seats. Favourite away ground.

I didn't know any ground had designated neutral areas in those days. Do you mean there wasn't organised segregation and those seats were generally favoured by visiting fans?

Can't remember the chant, probably too busy listening to the swearing, while then men escaped their nagging wives with pointy bras.

CC is a nice old ground but £50 to sit in the neutral area is a joke.
