Glad you got a complimentary one as £4.50 seems a lot for 1982

Football ticket prices from 1982 to today haven't followed any normal rules of inflation. If everything had gone up the same as ticket prices, our inflation rate would make Venezuela look like a stable economy!About £15 equivalent factoring in for inflation.
Yep, we had a decent 2nd hal to the season to be fair, it was the 1st half of the season that sealed our fateWas there that day, Jim Platt's best ever performance for me - good win but too little too late.

Below the belt Lefty,Does he miss many unmissable putts?
I liked Dave Currie, don't forget he came from non league Stockton & upstaged players at the time who had played top flight football, including recently Fletcher & AssombalongaCurrie though always remembered for that Carlisle miss also scored some crackers....Newcastle and Leeds at home come to mind....absolutely idolised at Darlo and a bit of a Barnsley legend too. Unlucky to play for us at a very difficult time....certainly not the worst striker we had in the early 80s....could name at least five worse off the top of my head (Woof, Crawford, McDonald, Hankin, Sugrue.....!)
I remember having my heart broken that day. I had convinced myself we were only 3 points behind 4th bottom with one game left, so obviously we were going to win our last game by enough to stay up. It took my dad ages of quiet explanation that because the games left involved the teams above the Boro playing each other that one of them was guaranteed to be at least 4pts above the Boro's current total.
