For any youngsters (ie under 40's) reading this 3/-, or 3 shillings, is now worth 15 pence. To put it in context, I've still got the ticket stub for the World Cup Final game won by England at Wembley just over 12 months prior to this Hyde game, and it shows the admission price was 10 shillings, or 50 pence.
Slater of Hyde seem to think that 'Refractory Brickwork Specialists' is worthy of an exclamation mark. What exactly are 'Refractory Brickwork Specialists'?

Two of my favourite places on the same day - Hyde United/FC and the Folk Club. I saw some great singers there and met some super people.
Note the all red kit? Those were the days....
I've heard the red kit is going to be making a come back.. and what a start to the season they've had so far.
