I have a COPY of the 1983 accounts...but cup final monies would've been shown on the 1984 accounts...interesting reading where the money went.

Another of the big questions is who made the money from the ticket allocation sold to United fans in the lower tier of the Brighton end?

Creative use of the phrase "four-goal thriller" -

there were for example over 50 arrests before and during the first match of the season at home to Arsenal, in another four goal thriller

My recollection is a 0-4 home defeat and rather more of a shellacking than a thrill.

Interesting reading. I have to admit to being one of the fans who stopped attending in 1979/80, our first in the big league. Up until then I'd been a season ticket holder attending all home and most away games (on the seagull special train) for about 10 years, I was 25 in 1980. I think future wife arrived in my life about then plus I just got bored having reached the ultimate target.
