    Myself and the brother were having a discussion over Christmas about paying cash at the gate of the Old Kop. He thinks you had to buy a ticket to get in before they made it all-seater, I thought you could pay cash right up to the end as I definately remember doing that around 92/93.

    Hopefully some of the older lads here or the local lads who are on here occasionally could shed some light on this so I can collect my €20!

    Thanks

    It cost me £9 cash at the gate to watch Liverpool v Arsenal in October '93. The queue started around 10am that morning. The seats were something like £13 in those days.

    Only time I ever seen a ticket for the Kop was for the final game that season against Norwich, the last day of the Kop.

    I thought I recalled a conversation from the Sandon along those lines alright!!

    There's plenty here that seem to have been over those days so I think our opening post may have won his bet!
