Who used to wait outside the newsagents at 6pm on a Saturday evening for the green un? |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I can't remember if it had the goalscorers, it might have, it had updated tables from the day before, games on the day finished at 4.40/4.50 and it was on the streets at what 5.15/5.30 so you had to work out if Swans were top the league and if Cardiff was back in the relegation zone. |
The first issues was delivered to the old United Welsh bus station at 5.30pm and loaded onto buses for delivery to West Wales .
Back then Swansea use to kick off at 3.15pm and the all white at 3pm. All the middle pages had been typeset by then with features and reports on other matches up to half time with just final scores added.
The front, inside front , back and inside back page had full results and reports from the featured matches usually Swansea City , all white, Neath, Aberavon, Llanelli and Wales if they played. Type setters updated the tables using the Press Association video printer service. BBC's Grandstand used the same service with David Coleman reading the results direct from the video printer telex service.
The evening Post sporting edition went to press around 5pm. |  |
