Uefa has responded to growing concerns over the high cost of watching football in England by reducing the cheapest ticket for this year's Champions League final at Wembley to £68.

I don't know where to start, I'm welling up with gratitude!
 
But they haven't said how many tickets will be available at this giveaway price have they? Probably 100 or so. Only £68 FFS!!
It is a severely overpriced game, even my very local team Oadby Town charged me about £5.00 a few years ago and they are in the Midlands Combination or something. It was only back in 1980 that entrance to top flight games (standing admittedly) was £1.00 everywhere and then this rose to £1.20 the following year. The inflation is unbelievable, it really is!
 
In 1972 City played their first ever top flight match at Carrow Road against Everton. The game finished 1-1 Jimmy Bone scored for City, Joe Royle equalised.

Can anyone guess the adult admission price for the River End and Barclay terraces ?

I played against them earlier this season, it's not a bad ground that (in comparison to most in the league) but completely agree that anyone who comes and watches me play football and has to pay for the privilege are getting completely mugged off - particularly at a rate of £5 per game!

A guy from work is desperate for a ticket and was asking me today to register for tickets and if I get them he'd give the money.. At £330 for the most expensive I told him to stop taking the piss!

It was the first ever Old Farm Derby played in the top flight!

Yes we gave you a few hidings down the years and you us but I suppose I can cling onto the wreckage in the knowledge that we still hold the upper hand in Old Farm wins! <ok>
 
This must be the match then, Terry Anderson (RIP) scoring here in a 2-1 win for us <ok>

Yeah that's the one!

1972/73 was the year when Bobby started to build his first great side with the likes of Burley, Hunter, Beattie and Viljoen. If I remember rightly we had just beaten Man Utd at Old Trafford. Makes me weep now though!

But don't forget, revenge was sweet :emoticon-0105-wink:

The record for the biggest win is Manchester United's 9&#8211;0 victory against Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on 4 March 1995.

We may have taken Coventry's crown of recently losing to a non-league side, but - despite Villa's lame capitulation versus Chelsea, the record PL defeat 'prize' is still in the trophy cabinet at the Portaloo <ok>
 
..........anyway, as no-one has bothered to guess the answer to my question I'll give you the answer, wait for it.....................
