Thank %^*& i'm a millennial.
As much as we are spoiled these days with TV coverage, there is something I miss about those days also.
It couldn't just have been me that used to scream "c'mon" when for example during a home mentally challengeds game you would here those awaited words "there's been a goal at Ibrox"!
The joy of teletext, waiting ages for the pages to turn to the one you want, looking away for a split second and your page with score vanished.
I can remember when certain races weren't covered on T. V I used to go to Ceefax/ Oracle and watch it, you'd see things like ,going down,at the post,then the race would start and we watched for the result coming in. Funny,lol.Younger fans will never have had this struggle, but what are your memories of finding out a score?
We never had teletext on our telly and it was obviously before the internet. The anticipation of waiting on a result on the tv news/radio was brutal at times!
I suppose my main memory of it could still be the case today as it was on a flight home from gran canaria. We were playing the tims and I was having palpatations waiting on the score only for the pilot to announce we won 3-1 que a big roar on the plane!
Pilot obviously a good guy!
It was the game albertz scored a rasper into the bottom corner and erik bo scored a double!
When you think about it, it's pretty impressive how quickly they got that pink Evening Times printed up and delivered to all the newsagents.
1187 was the numberGrowing up in Oz in the 80’s had to ring a results hotline the next day.
Any match reports were in a publication called British Soccer Week 5 days later.
Was murder.
Was pulling a caravan to Ullapool and stopped near muir of ord at a wee shop, young lad coming so I asked , you got football scores son? Rangers won,was his only reply as he walked on.Younger fans will never have had this struggle, but what are your memories of finding out a score?
