I used to organise 5-a-side football on
a Friday night at Abraham Moss centre up the road to the Swan in the 70's
and each year on the last Friday we played before Christmas, l used to treat
the lads to a pint from the kitty, The week before our last game l called in
to the Swan lnn on Hazelbottom Road and asked the landlady if we called in
for a few drinks the following week, could she would put on a few sandwiches
to have with the beer and how much it would be? I was told £10!
The following week we played and turned up for the drink and the landlady
took us into a room she had set aside, where we found a large table full of
sandwiches, that would have fed guests at a 21st birthday party - all for a
tenner. We ate as much as we could and there was so much left. I invited the
rest of the pub to help themselves. Even now 40+ years later - when we meet
up we still talk about that Night!! Those really were "The good old days!!" |
