I remember turning up to BL with my younger brother in the late 70's.
I was 13 and he was 12. Went to pay at the South stand turnstile then realised we were 50p short.
Genuine mistake, I think we got our sums wrong and spent too much on sweets earlier in the day.

So we stood outside the South stand asking if someone could give us 50p to get in.
We had no shame and it never crossed my mind that we were virtually begging.

If only took 2 minutes for a fellow Blade to give us the 50p we needed.

So never sold anything but I have begged outside the ground for money to get in.

FA Cup Semi Final 1993. I had been made redundant and was working in a very low paid job in a village near Skipton. Interest rates were through the roof and we were struggling. A colleague asked if I was going to the match. He asked me how much the ticket was - £12 I think it was - and could I afford it. I told him I couldn't. Next day he offered me £12 for my work boots

When I was a milkman and the price of a pint went up customers would have to put out 1p with their token. I got back to the dairy and started counting out the 1p's.Amongst the pennies was a half sovereign. I told the manager if anybody asked, I'd give it back. I kept it in a small dish for years. I finally sold it to get tickets for the pig semi at Wembley as I was skint at the time. Paid for train and decent seats for me and my daughter. A few years later my wife mentioned it was missing. As she couldn't stand her brother in law I said he might have stolen it. She fully agreed and nothing else was said.

I needed a ticket for the Kop to go in with a mate so swapped my South stand season ticket with a bit of a numpty outside the ground.
It was early April so there were only 3 home games left, the sucker

Yes, but you were 34 at the time and in those days they were more lax on getting in with a concession ticket.

 

[Grecian2000]

Not actually sold anything but did get stopped going into Oakwell wearing just a thong and some work boots. Bastards.

Life lesson. As my old man always says 'money doesn't grow on trees'. Silly fucker doesn't understand commercial agriculture.

[dublin 10 blade]

Didnt sell anything , but did something for the club ( easy guys ) .
In the seventies after a snow storm , the Blades where due to play West Ham i think ,
anyway they asked for volunteers to come and help clear the pitch .
Bring shovels , etc etc .
So being the loyal Blade ( mug ) take ya pick , went down with around 50 others , to help clear the pitch , didnt help game was still called off , but got a free ticket for next home game .

 

[Muttley]

I was one of the others with shovels

[Muttley]

I remember Billy Bonds and some other Shammers strolling around in the snow. I met happy Harry and Sabella, chucked a snowball at Andy Keeley and they gave us summat to eat in the ild cricket pavillion. I bussed it from Old Whittington with my shovel, my mum thought I had lost the plot.
