I Totally agree that the Mechanics were a separate club to the Welfare team. The two teams were in different leagues. The Mechanics played at Millne Park in the Northern Alliance and the Welfare played in the Miners Welfare League at Welfare Park. The Mechanics wore red/white Arsenal type shirts and the Welfare Green/white stripes. I lived in Gladstone Terrace (Now Brooke Court). I used to watch most of the Welfare games and travelled to away games on the team bus with my uncle Jimmy Dixon. Great memories.
