Be interested in the real cost of entrance those days compared to now. Bet it’s not far off comparatively
It's actually pretty outrageous.
It was around 1980 when adult entry at Stags hit the £1 mark. Allowing for an average inflation rate of 3.78% per year that adult ticket should cost £4.25!
Even worse. Remember how outraged we all were when Uncle Keith put the price up from £6 to £8 in 1992? Well that £8 ticket allowing for inflation should be £16.42.
It's a wonder anyone goes to football at all.
A pound in 1980 ? Are you sure ?
Yep.
Average price of a pint was 35p (around a third of the price of admission).
The average is now £3.60 (according to one site but there are others quoted but looks to be between £3 and £4.)
