10 miles away. That's an awesome turnaround. Where were you living at the time ?
It wasn't just the quick deliveries to newsagents. There were armies of paperboys at the ready. Pretty sure ours was on the mat by 6.30 in Queen's Park.
I was only 6 at the time, but remember the reports on the radio from the Colchester match that month and seeing the score in the Argus later. They must have turned the press round pretty quickly back then.
