I must admit I don't remember things being too dear or unaffordable back then. Perhaps that's a flaw that we all have. The memory, good or bad, always has more of a place in your mind than the cost.

Back on topic, think the fans will want to see Strachan choose to retire. He has done his best and it just wasn't enough. Best all round if he declines to carry on, rather than be in the position of having the SFA offer him a contract and then have the press and those who think he has made mistakes in selection and strategy moaning that he has had two chances and failed both times.
Average wage £18 per week in UK in 1964. Adjust a wee bit down for Scotland and a wee bit up for men's pay (taking out women's pay) and average male pay in Scotland maybe £14? Bit of a guess.

Entry? 30p or less?

Some huge crowds back then.
