Oh my..you never had a hyde's meat pie!! Yes, you missed out, think it was a Hot water crust pastry wth a delicious minced beef and gravy filling. Used to get some on the way to my nans every week without fail. I know time passes and I was a kid but craving for one of those pies nicely warmed (or even cold with brown sauce) was just an abiding memory. I'd take one with me to the Boulevard and get my auntie to warm it up before she'd get me in for nowt (she was a barperson in the club & my uncle a groundsman)..Happy happy days

A Tardis might be handy.

and goal posts that go all the way up ....

To go forward or back?

Well, after building the Boulevard, I might be tempted to go back in time and bring back 17 or so players.

Remember at Scarborough st school getting free tickets to clear the straw of the pitch when fc played Wigan,we laid on the straw watching the game and remember the great aurhur keegan tackling Boston an breaking his collar bone in doing so.Great memories of Boulevard training with boulevard juniors, sullivan just back from injury gave us all almost 30 yards + start and still easy beat us . great place nothing ever like it for atmosphere

I remember having to stand on a milk crate in the well to see when I first started going, threepenny was amazing pre vp fire but it was time for us to move on

Sound like the stuff of legend. Anyway, it's rolled over to £150m, so with the extra £7m I'm tracking down the recipe and installing concessions with free pies for all.

The recipe died with the old boy as I recollect hearing, damn bloody shame that. but if you can unearth it, I'll certainly make them and flog them outside of the KC to willing buyers.
I started out as a pastry chef many moons ago so I might just have a crack at making a few this week, sometimes you can't beat a properly crisp water crust pastry...nom nom
getting the gravy right though is the trick, not too thin, not too thick and a proper seal so it doesn't run out..fork tine crimping too
