p.s. A radiogram must be a measurement of weight for radios.

Its short for a combined radio and gramophone player which evolved into stereogram then shortened to stereo!

I'm going to watch Halifax and Sheffield today. I'm taking my wireless to get score updates on the Bulls game

Don't let the Whitehaven fans hear this kind of talk. They will accuse you of witchcraft!

Team is looking much better although lilley will be a loss. We still may be a few weeks away though which we really don't have to spare.

I used to see this black fella at Odsal in the crowd. He always had a leather jacket and a flat cap on but was always glued to the wireless at his ear.

I don't know who he was but he sure loved his rugby and was one of those legendary characters you remember for life.

Anybody else recall him?

Yes remember him. Also anyone remember old Harry, looked a bit like a mad professor, always had his radio with him listening to other scores.We always used to ask him how the Northern were going on and he would always tell us, even though we were there at the game. The things you do to amuse yourself after a few pints ha. Happy days

If it's the same guy he used to stand near me and it wasn't a small radio he had with him

I don't remember Harry. I remember Mark who used to wander around the ground sending people off and going to the big screen for a T.R.Y. Massive Bulls and City fan for years. Had a pump attack down Wyke not long back, my mate was on scene giving him first aid. I hope he pulled through. Thoroughly nice chap.
