Brock Manson 0 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ceefax is no more. Seems a shame but then again I honestly haven't used it since the internet became so accessible. Still, remember often cycling through reams of text as a kid just to see the Newcastle results and transfer gossip. Also used to play the games on the kids' section as a nipper!

JawD 31 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 RIP Used to use it loads. Watching them little numbers flick past waiting for your page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We never liked listening to us play away on the radio (I blame you Charles Harrison) so instead we would always check Ceefax. Heart stopping moments if you went back to check it and it had changed from 3 to 4 pages, meaning a goal/sending off/missed penalty somewhere had occurred and you were shitting it in case it went against us. Have to say, I still like pressing re red button and going to latest scores on the interactive rather than waiting around for Soccer Saturday to update..

Inevitably you'd be on page 1 and have to wait painstakingly for it to get round to the most recent update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
