Agreed , It was the same when we worked for Hassalls blinking Castles , you never knew if the money was coming on Friday , to top it all Wednesday got to the cup final that year so how we found the money to go to every away game is still a puzzle to me , these days I can't afford a week in Mablethorpe .

I said they came to an agreement & common knowledge knows it wsant all owed & im not defending owt mi owd , £1.5bn other factors also came to the co op's demise not just a dodgy chairman or sheffield wednesday, Edited September 14, 2021 by owl.66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes, I read in Hodgy's book (great read) that he arrived at the Lane the next morning to collect his testimonial money and the  Blade's chairman (was it Blacow Yates then ?) explained that the office had been broken into overnight and the money was stolen.

H Blacow Yates was chairman at the time but it was the club secretary that broke the news. The cash had been bagged up for going to the bank. There’s no mention of a break in.
