No other Sat arvo game should be the good old fashioned 2.10 start

I agree WP.
And all other games should be on at the same time too.
The footy records should be 20c. when you could look up the A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. J. K. R. S. on the score board to see what the other games scores were. Then you can check your record to see what team corresponds to the letter on the scoreboard.
And if you were really into it, like I was, I used to fill in the scores from the other games also.


.... the good old days, simple fun times.   :thumbsup

Yep, it was dead set easy to tell the sides on the scoreboard by learning  the letter of the alphabet of each club THAT WOULD CHANGE EvERY WEEK.
Simple.

Simple.
That's what the record was for Y&B.  it was only 20cents not $5 like it is now and it had a cool word finder which I enjoyed completing in the red rattlers on the way home.

Just shows why the AFL need the Big 4 up and about come finals time.  Massive crowd figures if the 4 clubs make it.
