I seem to remember it was 6/6 in the Kop, but I don’t think they had a boys entrance. It was 5/6 in the Lowfields & 3/- for boys. This may have been a bit before decimalisation, though. When I first started going at the end of 1967 we stood in the Shed, then we progressed to the Lowfields. I had a season ticket in the West Stand Paddock for a bit and started going in the Kop around 1973.
