I believe there was some games at this time of the domestic pc tv football ban,covered  by bbc and itv and shown abroad.
I’ll try and see if I can find some footage later.

This is an ITV Sport Football Coverage from 1985/86.

It’s got footage of some of our games that weren’t shown here due to the blackout of League games for a fair part of 1985 /86.

Seeing as we were on the fringes of the title race until our Easter from hell, it would have been nice to have more than one of our wins featured!
