How many seasons did we have to have Membership cards? Just found my old ones from season 87/88 though to season 93/94

Is that a full set?

I thought we had them earlier than that, but think I chucked mine out years ago, so can’t check.

Seems about right. It was a thatcher thing wasn’t it. So maybe partly on the back of Hillsborough?

Colin Moynihan, sports minister at the time, brought them in I think?

From wiki:

Moynihan was at the centre of a government proposal to bring in an ID Card scheme for supporters of English Football League teams in the wake of repeated outbreaks of hooliganism in the late 1980s.[5] However, these plans had to be abandoned following the Hillsborough disaster and the subsequent Taylor Report, but he eventually piloted the Football Spectators Bill through Parliament to address football hooliganism which included the introduction of CCTV cameras in all 92 League Grounds and a range of other measures to tackle hooliganism.

Yes, that's all I've got as well and my Seagull party card and various Supporters Club plastic card and cardboard things!

Yep me too, until the missus made me throw them out in a purge a few years back.

Moynihan announced the proposed law in July 1988, 9 months before Hillsborough, to start from August 1989.

To combat widespread violence.
