Admission prices sound about right, Archie , and I think that OAPs paid the same
What about Don Weston ?
Good call Nez but I think Don Weston played around 1959 for a year or so. Looking at his pix not sure it is him. Nowt on Birmingham City site where we got him from. Still think its Brian Jackson.Quote:

Pihoto looks like it was taken before time of Weston's arrival at Millmoor (1960 according to Wikipedia)
Its Pete Madden,hairstyle and looks give it away.
If you google "Rotherham United team photo 1960", click on 'Images' and scroll down through about four rows of photos there is an excellent black and white image of a crowd lining up for tickets at Millmoor and showing the same entrance as the one in the OP's original photograph. It's interesting because it's taken from a little further back and puts the entrance into the context of the stands. Looks like it's about the same era - late fifties/very early sixties - though I'm slightly confused about the location. Looks like the corner between the Tivoli end of the Main Stand - on the right. - and the Tivoli itself on the left, but they look a bit too close together and I thought the Tivoli had a flat gable end. Interested to hear other views.
If anybody could lift the picture into this site that would be good. Looks like its not removable to me...
Many thanks, LA-Miller!
Player in picture hasn't got a big conk, unlike Albert Bennett, still go with Brian JacksonQuote:
