in General Charlton
If charlton did pay £26.03p as the Valley Review claims (page 36) then they were robbed - the invoice is for £26.0.3 - pounds, shillings and pence, proper money

    Apart from the "p" being a "d" it should also be omitted. That symbol is only required to be used if there is no pound symbol. In addition on page 55 the Huddersfield game is shown as being on 14th Feb. And on page 60 there's an erroneous apostrophe in Polo's

    An aberrant apostrophe eh?

    Doubt Iain or Olly were around in pre-decimal times so I can live with the very minor confusion.

    Good spot by whoever found that gem in the museum archives. :-)

    if you think that is bad, the Rotherham programme had visitor stats for a completely different team.

    Old money and measurements and such like helped my generation to learn about number bases.
