Re: Sorry, Mr Burgess - still "tinpot"

I reckon some are looking at the past through the old rose-tinted spectacles. When the club was promoted to the Football League I purchased two season tickets, one for me, one for my son who was 10 at the time. The under 12s season ticket was £100. Four or five games into the season the owner/administration decided to bring in an under 12s admitted free policy. I asked for a refund of my £100, less payment of admission for the games previously attended before the introduction of the under 12 policy. I received a reply from the much revered and Stanley through and through Mr. R. Heys telling me, hard luck you're not getting a refund. I've never bought a season ticket since. The club looked after its fans in those days.
