Around that time, it would not be uncommon for a man to be earning 16/- - eighty pence in today's money – a week. A penny would buy you five or six pilchards. Some people, through having shares in the Co-op, had accumulated enough to start buying their own houses. If you wanted to send a telegram, it would cost you 1/2 – six pence. It is interesting to see the costs in connection with the Club in its earlier days. A fixture card cost 1/- - five pence. A shirt cost 3/- - fifteen pence. The Club paied £3.2.0 – three pounds and ten pence – for a goal post and gloves for the goalkeeper.. The sum of £1.4.1/2 – one pound and twenty-one pence – was spent on three yards of serge and silk in blue – the colour of slate, perhaps. These were people who had to think carefully before spending money. The Club counted for something in their eyes.
