ernieone Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Looking through the memrobelia I have accumulated over the years, how much did it cost for a season ticket for the long stand in the 1951/52 Season (Just before I was born ) 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieone Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Looking at the fixtures the second team started with a home match against Normanton (away match in February). First team matches included Bell Vue Rangers and of course New Zealand on the 16th November. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernieone Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Reading the Halifax programme for the first round of the cup from 64, in the notes it says that " Batleys Chairman was very hopeful concerning his side's prospects. Now we assume the same role with regards to the Thrum Hall side and if we get an even share of the luck there will not be much doubt as to who will turn out winners this afternoon" Of course we went on to beat them three nil with a Malcolm Shuttleworth try. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me & Colin B were on about that season last Friday at the hall of fame dinner as he said he was allowed out of school for the New Zealand game which my grandad also attended in my collection of programmes etc I’ve got a programme from 1947 vs salford at the willows http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

ernieone Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just in case anyone is interested the cost of the season ticket was £1,2 shilling and six pence which is £1and12.5p. Just a point regarding season tickets perhaps they should be on sale now (in line with a number of other clubs). Kevin says he does not like money too early but buying a season ticket at the moment when there is not as much expense as at the end of December would be better for a lot of fans. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9' oller Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 True and traditionally a Xmas present constituted a season ticket, replica and scarf (winter rugby)....
