I used to phone club call a fair bit as well, although I was more of a junkie, especially during the close-season - remember that anyone?? - for the early edition of the MEN, esp pre-Sky/tinterweb days 1985-95... it would arrive at the newsagents at about 1pm and I would anxiously wait news on our latest summer chase for Paul Stewart, or worse, some totally unknown bloke from Iceland or whereever! Being a bit older I very quicky cottoned on to the fact that Clubcall was a total rip-off so soon gave that a wide berth!

Jesus yea me too,mam used to go fucking mental when phone bill came,10 mins and they would tell you something that very rarely happened or came off if it was transfer talk,never off it mind back in the day
In 1987 I listened to a full members cup match Vs Plymouth on clubcall from a pay phone inside a pub in Surrey. I popped 10 pence in and I got the full 90 minutes for some strange reason. Now that was value for money for a city fan working away. The only downside was Brian Clarkes commentary.

When we played Brentford in the FA Cup in 1988 I called the Brentford club call from work.I'm sure they used to do a ticket information line as well 10 minutes listening to crap before they actually told you what you needed to know ,but you had to ring it because the oticket office never answered the phone
"Welcome.to Brentford FC club call - you can hear all about ticket requirements for the upcoming FA Cup game v Manchester City, but first here is a match report from last night's reserve game at Cambridge United....."
Slammed the phone down lol

6-2, the Tuesday after the 10-1?
There can’t be many football fans who’ve seen 19 goals over two consecutive games in just three days?
Which 3 did you miss?
