I realise this was five years earlier Florida but these are two copies of the Herald Express from Sat 9th Jan 1965 and the later one is indeed the football final....   |

Western Times office (1956): 1906-14; 1919-20; 1923-34; 1936-39; 1947-54So the Football Herald was a totally separate paper from 1924, following in the footsteps of sister papers in Plymouth (from 1899) and Exeter (from 1906). From Christmas 1954, all three became late (football) editions of their mother paper. As I recall, ours was commonly referred to as "The Buff" rather than "The Pink". Most large towns had their own football paper on coloured paper (pink, green, whatever) on sale incredibly quickly after the final whistle blew. Amazing how it was done without today's technology. When i was a student (early 80s), we used to watch Forest or County and by the time we had walked back into town, could buy a paper including a match report of the game we had just seen.

Too big an image unfortunately gullone. Would love to be able to read it. The papers are so large with so much to read they are impossible to scan complete and readable. I was really just comparing the heading of the two editions this time. Jons conprehensive post does the job very nicely. |

Sure Gulone no problem, some interesting facts from Jon there.
Love to read old papers from the sixties and special times - the image just leaves me wanting to read more!
Just a tip but I usually photograph large images these days either with a camera or my phone and then reduce the image/file size before uploading.

When i was a student (early 80s), we used to watch Forest or County and by the time we had walked back into town, could buy a paper including a match report of the game we had just seen. Yes incredible. The Herald Express Football Edition reached Newton Abbot at 6 pm and was always on time. After an away game we could wander down to the bus station at 6 pm and pick up a paper containing a full match report of the United game somewhere far up north, together with a front page report of the reserves in the Western League and a full paper packed with local football stories. It is a marvel but I suppose these days news is instant so really there is no appetite any more for such a publication. In the early 1960's I regularly went to see the reserves at Plainmoor with the main object being to see the half time score of the first team when it was put up on the half-time scoreboard at the Babbacombe End as there was no other way of getting it. The Football Edition of the Herald Express was white mind and not pink or fluffy! Perhaps that was the Newton Abbot edition though!  |

The Football Edition of the Herald Express was white mind and not pink or fluffy! Perhaps that was the Newton Abbot edition though! I'm sticking with pink, not buff or white, purely on the grounds I delivered them every Saturday evening in about a mile radius to Marldon Hill Post Office, for about 18 months, and pink is the colour I recollect! And they look pink (to me, anyway) in gullone's photos. The ones I purchased every Saturday normally at Newton Abbot bus station were definitely white. When I went around the country as a young teenager though watching away games it seemed that the Football Edition of the local paper was always pink, so perhaps the Herald Express copied the rest of the country eventually. You are younger than me so our childhood experiences are not going to be the same. As for gullone's newspapers - newspaper goes like that after 54 years! |

.....Bert Pyle RIP - owner of the newsagents in Carlton Road back in the 70s - used to refer to it as the "Buff" when we went "Down the bottom shop" from Reddenhill Road to pick it up on a Sat evening!......
