That bloke down the front is (I think) the man in charge of the half time scores board at the front of the terrace. He used to update match a,b,c,d,e,f etc etc
When people try to tell me that electronic scoreboards are better then the old card hung up one at a time on the letter you had to check in the programme I tell..
Too damn right.
Not much sense of anticipation with the electonic versions though is there? Instant gratification isn't always best young man...
At my age instant gratification is defo the thing to go for ; - )
For suspense and tension nothing can beat the tele-printer bobbing up and down to spell out the scores one slow letter at a time.
Adam, find a photo please ; - )0 -

How do you do it, Adam ....? lol
Mind you, you could have picked a pic that didn't show Plymouth winning ........(!)
But at least they were in the rightful place, Division 3.

thats not the tele Vidi printer
it used to make a tapping noise and spell the team letter by letter not just naming them, My saturdays were so good back then just got back from the 2nd footie match of the saturday over at Eltham Park south (i think) after playing the first game at charlton park.
The smell of thick mud and the moist evening air still in my hooter even though i had just bathed at home and me mum had made me crumpets with butter settling down to the vidi printer waiting for the addicks result from some far flung nthn town like watford0 -

the best way to find out the results was to follow someone away from the ground who had a small radio to his ear, and wait for the music and "it's five o'clock and here are the football results with james alexander gordon".
all this had to be done while trying not to look like a stalker. this was usually succesfull as about 50 other like-minded people seemed to be walking at exactly the same pace as you.0 -

Ah, the Percy Dalton's peanut man.

Heard a story, perhaps on the Danny Baker show, of a bloke who made up a tape of false results in the style of Sports Report and played it on his cassette machine as he left the ground and walked back to his car. Had a whole load of people listening and believing.0

i listend to that 606 March, was really funny blokes would be crying at hearing the results, imagine if u heard ure team had taken a pasting and went and got smashed only to wake yup the next day and see you won classic.. he does have some good gems does old danny baker..

Baker is brilliant.
Any real football fan can share in the funny stuff he does but too many JCL have been forced fed "I blame the ref but the managers got to go" rubbish so don't get it.
Their loss0 -

Me as well. LOL. Why was it in those days you could leave the ground, walk to the car and still get in it before James Alexander Gordon started his stuff. Now it's about 20 past 5 when I get in the car.0 -
