Clubcall

[Yorkshire Saint]

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

I remember the prem league table was number 125 on ceefax.

138 as gossip page on teletext.

I remember the coloured vouchers you used to get which enabled you priority for tickets to away games.

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.

I think that it was 324 on ceefax. Might have been 125 on teletext

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!

The porn was on page 383 on Teletext.

'Twas a dream when pause buttons were introduced...page 1/15

.......always teletext never ceefax.

I used to listen to commentary on our very own Sky channel.....

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.

Instead of paying 49p a minute for BS, today we get it served up by mongboarders for free.

 

Even a Luddite would see that's progress.

Dial-a-disc was much better value. Although always felt it needed a touch more bass

[St.JonB]

Remember all the times you were desperate to know the time but did not have a watch? Was never a problem as long as you were near a phone.....

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). Cost me a bloody fortune!

PEDANT ALERT.

 

2-1.

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.

Pretty sure it was 1-0 (MLT) so it wasn't just after Ballie took over after all. 1996-97 looking back at it.

I went to that one. Drinking with the locals before the game, they were convinced that MLT would do them again and he did with a 30 yarder.

Itemised billing was a bugger wasn't it ?
