It is. A couple of decades before we signed Pearson or Jones the UK had Teletext (pre-internet internet). He didn’t have to wait a week to find out…daveydanger said:
Sounds rubbishBillericaydickie said:After logging on to Charlton Life at least 30 times per day, every day for the past 2-3 weeks and
generally wasting hours of my life, reading rumours that rarely if ever materialise, I have decided that I actually prefer the “Good Old Days” before the internet.
In those days I really looked forward to Thursday morning when the Kentish Mercury was published.
I used make a detour from Liverpool Street station to Cannon Street Station to buy the paper, and if I was lucky read that Charlton had been discussing a move for John Pearson or Keith Jones.
Then I usually had to wait seven full days for the next edition to see if the player had actually signed.
In those days the rumours had a bit of truth about them, not complete works of fiction written by a 13 year old school boy in his bedroom.
What was that premium football phone line. Used to nag my dad to allow me to phone it all summer and the couple of times he allowed me I would be so happy but never learn anything of note.
Teletext was how I found out we had bought Djimi Traoure and Amdy Fay2 -
Didn't he pick up a serious injury and we let him do his rehab with us??0

Back then there wasn't really a transfer window anyway, concentrating the transfer action into the summer and January. Transfers could happen most of the year, and most would be done in secret.Valiantphil said:

I was told how to think out of the box! Back home now after 3 months in hospital.Covered End said:
There speaks an ex Roan boy.HardyAddick said:
I phoned from the fax line at work as there was no call records kept for faxes!
Clubcall. We used to have a phone at school that you only put money in to speak. Would ring from there and got quite the bollocking when we were inevitably rumbled!

I messaged you a while back.1 -
I know it’s early days but is this one of the quieter windows in terms of rumours that we’ve had. I can’t remember a window that has been so sparse0

If you really wanted to wait for news, forget the all rush Teletext, Clubcall was the one to get a red ear listening to.MintoHumbugs said:

Please do not start the fish puns on this thread. It is a hard enough read already. When I see 15+ new comments I dive in with more expectation than warranted. Transfer activity being kept closer to their chests than a pair of SHEIN nipple covers. Never mind waterproof, absolute rumour spill proof… Fair play but feels like the ball has been removed from the playground atm.8 -
I remember reading the rumour on Ceefax when Javier Saviola was briefly linked to joining us. Was it ever a move that was close to happening?2

Seems like a good time to resurrect the Hayden Mullins Charlton link.
