Last tenminuters

[BLITZER 10]

I remember in the thirties, how lots of kids and unemployed blokes,would gather at the gates of United's ground,at the corner of Bramall Lane and John Street,waiting for the gates to be opened 10 minutes before the end of the game,and then all making a beeline up the concrete steps to witness the last 10 minutes of the game for free. They were known as 'The last tenminuters'

 

Is this tradition still maintained,or has it been consigned to the gash bin of history?

prolly the opposite these days, they all make a beeline OUT 10 minutes early

Change a couple of letters and you have those on the inside as well.

Did it myself in the 50/60's. Tried to be a bit more organised and get there early so I could stand at the shareholders entrance and use those immortal words "Will you take me in Mister?"

Can't envisage that still going on but might be mestaken.
