It was, Sunday game IIRC, there was a section in the Roker where you got in cheap, we beat Watford 3-0 I think, Byrne scoring the first when David James dropped a cross at his feet.

First time was in the 1980s. That's the last time I was on the dole and used mine to get in the Roker. We knew about the match and told the dole we'd lost our cards and got new ones to give out to the working lads

Peterbrough at home we won 2-0, it“s actually one of the chapters in Harry Pearson“s “The Far Corner“ although he doesn“t mention that it was a pound in.
