@terrychristian @C_Ward93 @NUFC More lies terry, The 56k attendance record nufc set in 47 /48 wasn’t broken until 1968 by man I with an average of 68k in the season you won European cup. In the 1950”s the club with the highest average attendance in the country was nufc.

@jonlane86 £20 is more than reasonable. If you want cheaper tickets then #safc is the club for you. Next summer if they charge. £30 wouldn’t have problem. #nufc is not a charity.
