Just shows that some things are going backwards. The Green Mail ( six pages ?) was dropped off to the old girl outside the Regal Cinema in Cowley Road before 7 pm on a Saturday evening All the days results, full match reports and photos, tables...even non league. Printed and distributed about two hours after matches finished. Pat Quarterman always in the queue...to read how well he played

Used to go with my Dad to get/buy the Green Mail, of a fella stood at one of the subway ( tunnel not sandwich shop) entrances, near the Roundway shops & (old) Shotover arms ( MacDonalds) , Green Road roundabout, Headington, around 6.15pm of a Saturday eve
A frozen pitch, postponed game, delayed kick off, floodlight fire and a half time stadium evacuation could have derailed what should have been a routine win for Oxford United, but it was worth the wait for U's in the end.
Looking at the dates of those Saturday night Sports Mail’s - they look to have been
produced in 1977.
My recollection was that the last edition rolled off the printing presses in early December 1978
due mainly to industrial action at the printers during the 1978-1979 ‘winter of discontent’.
Roses are red, violets are blue, its Valentines Day, so more football for you.
The fire was red, the smoke was blue, we started with three sides and ended with two
Swindon are red, Wigan are blue, we scored twice, so relegation to you.
