    My earliest memory of following city was constantly spamming the ceefax to see the score, that m moment of dread till it appears fearing we'd conceded

    i still with ceefax existed, i think it's the best format for scores. proper traditional

    My overriding memory of ceefax is always loading the page AFTER the one you wanted and having to wait whilst it scrolled through umpteen pages of crap! I do miss it.

    Before smartphones, social media, forums and SSN ceefax and teletext where best way to information.

    Although Sky Sports use to have a Sports News hour at 6pm.

    It was so annoying when you turned to a page it use to be in the middle of the pages and you had to wait until it got to page one.

    My dad still uses ceefax every morning.

    too technical mate, we ain't managers, if our forwards are striking like a elephant, we canny do **** all

    ceefax is the boss, i heard you guys only just got the internet?
