    I might have got this wrong but I'm sure I spent the whole evening watching the teletext page right at the end of the season when we got promoted to the Premier league . Sure wolves were playing grimsby in a midweek match . Think wolves slipped up that night which meant all we had to do was beat Bradford on the Saturday. I could be talking complete nonsense though

    No, you’re right mate. I listened to the Wolves game - think it was on Radio 5 as it was probably the only game on the night.

    Wolves threw the kitchen sink at them but they held on. Beat us at home that season as well tbf

    I remember when it was Ceefax on Bbc 1, and Oracle on Itv. Back in the early-mid 80s. :rolleyes:
    And I used to have a go at the Ch4 teletext quiz Bamboozle as well, regularly, just for something to do.

    Loved it as a kid - best way to keep in touch with the scores. Enjoyed Bamboozle also and I remember they used to do a Christmas advent calendar as well.n

    Might be wrong but wasn’t it a young John Oster that scored for Grimsby that night?

    When I told people I worked for Oracle back in the day they invariably asked me "oh, the teletext company?" errr, no.
