Teletext Nostalgia

[BigAl]

You'll need to be of a certain vintage to remember the good old days in the 80's & 90's before the explosion of the internet and instant news to appreciate this. If you are you'll recollect the excitement of constantly refreshing teletext to get updated football scores and also the latest football news.

I was sent this by a mate down south as he thought I'd be interested. Someone has re-created the teletext features and pages as an app for your mobile and although in its infancy it is expected to grow as more and more features are added. I suspect it'll only be of interest to the older ones of us that remember it from its halcyon days.

Many a game, particularly midweek ones when there was no radio coverage and this was the only means to get instant (well fairly instant updates) on how your team were getting on.

Page 302 was the BBC football index page.

ITV brought out a service also, memory seems to tell me their home page might have been 140 

I've downloaded and will be using it in the future

Anyone else got memories of teletext usage for the football
