Reply With QuoteDoes it count if watching Notts County for thirty years has left you feeling about 90 years old? We are officially the most stressed fans in football, and consequently we age quicker than most!

This puts my 63 years in the shade. Well done young lady!
I know we've got quite a few old codgers on the board. How long have you been watching the Pies?

Only 48 years for me, but that should mean I'm no longer in the Junior Magpies.Originally Posted by 60YearsAPie

Julie’s mum’s first game at Meadow Lane was against Q.P.R. in Division 3 South on Saturday 2nd November 1946, kick-of 2.45 pm.
The game was billed as a “no change” match, which meant if you didn’t have the correct money you didn’t get any change!
Admission prices were: 1/3d turnstiles Meadow Lane, County Road and Sutton Street; Enclosure 2/9d turnstiles Meadow Lane; Wing Stand 3/6d turnstiles Meadow Lane.

Cripes. Any idea what those prices translate to in real terms today?

A bit of context, my Dad's first wage on leaving school c1948 was 17s 6d.

To the nearest p
1/3d = 6p
2/9d = 14p
3/6p = 17p

That's impressive - but you are very old B'4d. I can only muster 56, going on 57 years! 40 + of them have been absolute tripe tho'.

I meant in real terms rather than a conversion, bet it's still much cheaper than now though.
EDIT: Apparently a shilling in 1946 was equivalent to £1.46 now making the 3/6 £5.11 now
