RHS recomend application of nitrogen, such as ammonium sulphate, but not this late in the season, as it induces soft growth susceptible to snow mould.
I would wait until next spring and then weed and feed.

Thank you for all your advice about red thread and the address for the RHS website.
I will now put your comments into action and hopefully get our beautiful lawn looking lush and green again.
Before you use Wed and Feed, look it up on the Internet. I was shocked at how poisonous it is to pets and wildlife. I think the box should carry a better warning and I would welcome an item about it on Gardener's world. I am only going to use it on small areas at a time, which I can cover with chicken wire and netting to stop birds landing on it. I don't know what it does to worms.
