Foxy_Dread When did full ID cards come in. I used to get by without a membership but was a supporters club member. I never made a member individually on principle.
Jon Foxy_Dread Start of 85 season. Technically you were supposed to show your id card on your way into the ground (away) but you had to be a member to buy tickets. For a while they only gave them out on the coach on the way to the game. At least that’s how I remember it.
Mega_Armageddon_Chickens Foxy_Dread Think they brought in restrictions after Birmingham in 85, lifted them for Bradford in 86 and brought the red card in sometime early in 87. I can't ever recall showing it but I seem to remember a few getting turned away.
fulmine Jon At the Roundhouse, in 76 I think. Not sure who that is on the far left but he’s got lovely hair.
zico Mega_Armageddon_Chickens It hurt away attendances. 84/85 there were over 15,000 for the game at Huddersfield. 85/86 it dropped to just under 10,000.
Mega_Armageddon_Chickens zico I think that from 85 as well as the away ticket restrictions on Leeds fans, all the matches were all ticket and tickets had to be purchased before the day of the match. It seemed ridiculous at the time. I think tickets were restricted to Leeds season ticket holders, shareholders and supporters club members. 85/86 was the most miserable of seasons.
Foxy_Dread I still went to a fair few aways and got in, think via the supporters club. I wouldn't have gone to the 3-0 loss at Millwall if I hadn't been certain I was getting in. When did the full blown photo Id with an annual renewal come into force?
