Ground improvements made totalling £18,000 made during the summer of
1962. Which included getting rid of the trees in the Vicarage Road end
and tarmacing the top of the terrace. Also built were a Pools office
which would become a club shop and Brick enclosed turnstiles replacing
the rather less secure tin fence with which a quick jimmy with a crowbar
could cut match day expenditure.
Big freeze of the 1962-63 winter hits Watford's income
with a £30,000 overdraft amassed due to lack of games. The season ends
with a £34,332 loss three times the previous record by the club.
Enter Northern Ireland legend and then schoolboy Pat
Jennings.
