Right then, this was in the last programme of the 72-73 season, the promotion game. How come I have never heard this little gem? Anyone go/know anything about it? View AttachmentWhat goes on tour, stays on tour. |

Hereford season ticket prices back in da day... Season ticket offer for the 1974-75 season.  If you stood, it equated to as little as 44p a game via the early bird ticket route. Maybe £7 in today's money. Not bad for League 1 football. Seating would have been 78p or £12. Check out the old seating block lettering used, and surely a Merton Stand typo?? |

There is an article in one of the 1973-74 programmes about the (healthy) state of the clubs finances which I will dig out at some point.

A quick google search informs that average wage in 1974 was £48 per week and now it's £689 pw. If my maffs is correct, the early bird standing season ticket in 1974 (£10) was roughly 20% of that average wage, and this year (£310) it's roughly 45%. Quite a difference. I stand* to be corrected. * - In the case of season tickets, this is cheaper than being seated to be corrected. |

For those of you that are still following the programme articles, fair play you have the perfect skill set to be Hereford fans.
I put up the adverts from the 72-73 programmes this morning. I have the accounts from that season ready to put up next.
Then to kick off the next season (73-74) I have the squad to put up courtesy of a player summary that appears in each programme.
The 73-74 programmes are crackers. Really well put together. It will take my best efforts to ruin them. Blackburn will be first game of the season.

"A 3 legged camel with the turning circle of the Queen Mary" Source: A town and civil parish in the Stroud District in Gloucestershire, England, lying in one of the Stroud Valleys in the Cotswolds, on the A46 road (the Roman Fosse Way), 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Stroud and about 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Bristol and Bath. That could be me and, if it was, I'm sorry for over egging Mr Biggs' abilities............. |

Re the roof discussion and for the benefit of you young 'uns..............my first attendances at ES were on the open terrace that was on the corner twixt the LW stand and the Blackfriars End. In my later years I moved to the ME and vacated said area because having some pillock behind me pissing down my trouser leg was not my ideal footballing experience. Come to that, neither was Tony Biggs

I put the Blackburn programme from Herefords second season in the league up on BN.
Someone called Ian Hancock has replied on Facebook that it was their first ever game. I don't do Facebook (you can view it though), if anyone knows who it is, or can contact him, if he hasn't got a copy he is welcome to it.
Cheers

Wonderful news for our human satnav Gresty. The 73/74 programmes had "Going by Car".
They start with having to get a ferry across the river Wye 😃

With the Watford programme today this is the time to remember Brian Evans’s goal in the game. Whilst Ronnie’s shot v Newcastle is unchallenged for long range shots, this goal must be unchallenged for the beating of the whole of the Watford defence at least once.

Whilst Ronnie’s shot v Newcastle is unchallenged for long range shots, this goal must be unchallenged for the beating of the whole of the Watford defence at least once. "The Book" suggests... A sub-tropical storm turns the game after United promise to win in the first half. Brian Evans dribbles around two defenders, dummies a third and places a his shot into the far corner for a superb solo goal. Lees heads in from a Jennings corner and United hang on until the final whistle. |
