The gold card was started around 1998, replacing the Portman Card. The reason why the gold card started was similar today's problem, it was a crude way to benefit season holders who go to away games. The main advantage was a higher priority , but it would break even if used ie, £5 added to the team card, free ticket for a preseason home game (£10 normally), Â½ price coach ticket plus.

The silver card if I am correct was introduced in 2000-01 season when the capacity was only 22,000, with 18,000 season ticket holders. Silver card holders entering an organized lucky dip for the remaining 2,000 tickets per game.

The origins of the colour Orange in the past away Kits
at 23:16 5 Jun 2023

There was a big launch (in those days) of the new kit for the 1977/78 season, for both home and away kits. The Away kit being white shirt, black shirt, white socks (and the end to the Yellow and blue away kit).

The orange kit made its surprised debut in the 1977/78 FA Cup at Bristol Rovers as the 2nd away kit, because of the colour clash. No marketing ploy back then. Since winning the FA Cup, there has been many seasons when orange has been the away kit or 2nd away kit.

The earlier testimonial game in the 1977/78 season at Bristol Rovers, we played in white shirts.
