The Old Classified Results
I'm slightly obsessed with these. This one is particularly good if you stick with it.

Re: The Old Classified Results
If I missed the results on the teleprinter I would watch the classified results but hide our score and that of our opponent with a newspaper, gradually revealing the match score. As I attended most home matches, I would only do this if we were playing away.
Say our opponent had scored 3, you more or less knew we had lost the game but occasionally it would reveal a 3-4 away win for us, the feeling of elation I can still remember to this day.
Re: The Old Classified Results
If I buy a paper these days it's Sunday or Monday
Football results , attendances, league tables
Absolutely love it
Not the same on the TV when it flashes by too quickly or on the internet
I used to have a scrapbook with the league table every Monday in and every report on the game
But I gave that up
About a month ago

Me too....you could usually tell the second team's score by the pitch of the reader's voice...>!

Millions would be checking their Littlewoods & Vernons pools coupons to this.

Ha, yes. For us, it would either sound surprised if we'd won, or sympathetic when we were trounced. :hehe:

I remember the football being on page 302. Was always a surprise to see any headline with Cardiff in it!
Re: The Old Classified Results
I wonder if the teleprinter went Preston 9 (Nine) Cardiff 0 back in 1966 I think it was?
Youngsters won’t believe it, but often the first time you heard how your team had got on was when it came through on the teleprinter or was read out on the classified results.

Incidentally, we finished 15th that season with someone called Gordon Owen (???) as our top scorer with 14. Average attendance was a poor 7,000 with largest crowd being 14,500 who saw us beat Swansea 3-2 in a Boxing Day classic (Tosh scored a consolation goal for the JBs).

The return fixture at the vetch was the same score , we were two nil up and Dean Saunders driving instructor nicked it for them at the end
Rioting all day

Also when on holiday in the 80s, we had to wait until Monday to get the Sunday papers to be able to see Saturday’s results.
