I think I used to pay £3.50 to get in the Townend in the mid-late 70's

Thinking about it maybe it was £1.50 but not 100% sure

I can remember the Corona pop wagon coming around and Hubbly Bubbly pop at speedway
Used to go around the local building sites in the evening with a mate collecting discarded Corona bottles and taking them back to the local shop, 3d back on each one, 5 bottles were worth 1/3d, which we used to buy 10 Players Number 6 cigarettes, Those were the days (Old Fart). |

Single sheet was due to strikes and power cuts. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Not sure the returns would be that attractive to organised crime (which I suspect was also going on in the 70s). |

Ahh, the decade when music became no longer all about the light show and the 20 minute guitar solo.
