Yorkshire Saint Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 Anyone remember Southampton Clubcall... I remember being kept hanging on and racking some huge phone bills up hoping to hear that the likes of Tony Cascarino had joined Saints. Never forgave him for joining Celtic ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysaint Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 I remember the coloured vouchers you used to get which enabled you priority for tickets to away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 I heard the last ten minutes of the Saints vs Norwich 5-4 game on Clubcall. I went mental when Monkou scored the winner in the last minute. I got a proper bollocking from my parents for the phone bill, but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsaint Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 I remember the prem league table was number 125 on ceefax. I think that it was 324 on ceefax. Might have been 125 on teletext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintchris23 Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 My boss went spare at me, 138 phone calls in one month. My finest moment, especially as he was a West Ham fan! We beat them 2-1 in 2003/4 and I wrote it in black marker pen on the dry wipe board in the sales office, I didn't realise it was a permanent marker at the time!

Turkish Posted 6 February, 2014 Share Posted 6 February, 2014 I got given a verbal warning for running club call about 20 times in a week in the mid 90s. It's finest hour was when they announced Alan Armstrong had signed for us from Stockport only for him to be unveiled at Middlesbrough the next day.

kpturner Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 I had to call club-call from a call box in Miami once just to find out that we had beaten Newcastle 1-0 at St James' Park (just after Bally took over).

doc oli Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Used to call Clubcall / Teamtalk from the payphone at school because the phone would only need money if you wanted to talk. Evil genius I was then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 PEDANT ALERT. 2-1. Pretty sure it was 1-0 (MLT) so it wasn't just after Ballie took over after all. 1996-97 looking back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking with the locals before the game, they were convinced that MLT would do them again and he did with a 30 yarder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
