This is a extract from a rugby league (yes and i know its not football) site
1969 Warrington call a meeting to discuss the transmission of live games on the BBC a number of clubs including Wigan object to the idea, fearing gates will drop.January 5th First ever game to be played on a Sunday v Blackpool away,as it was not permitted to charge for entry on a Sunday clubs got round the restriction by selling team sheets which strangely enough were the same price as the entrance charge to the game,these were shown at the turnstile and you were admitted well sort of free?.

Yes but it didn't last long. They had one turnstyle open and then applied to get that closed because of the huge crowds that congregated there. They used Health and Safety laws to overide the free admission one.
