In my day, the match day programmes contained the fixtures of all the importantgames . Each fixture was assigned a letter of the alphabet A-Z. The alphabet letters painted on the walls at each end of the stadium. At half time, a guy would put up the score using plates with numbers on them. He'd put the numbers 12,00, etc on hooks under each letter of the alphabet. Then, you had to look in your programme to de-code it.
