Hi all,

Grimsby fan here. I run an account on Twitter that details event OTD in Grimsby's history. Not sure if any of you saw but it was me in May who shared the footage of your 1984 Division Two title win at Blundell Park that then ended up on other accounts/platforms. As far as I'm aware nobody had seen that since.

If you've not seen the footage, the account is @onthisgtfcday.

I'm currently looking for footage of a game between the clubs at The Bridge on 21st November 1981. As far as I know it was shown on The Big Match on LWT. If any of you have the footage or know a Chelsea fan who does, I'd be really interested to hear from you/then.

Thanks in advance.

I've just looked through my old programmes I haven't got this one but I do have the one from 1980 so I never went to this game. Obviously I don't remember this game we were so awful back then it's not a surprise. But regarding highlights in LWT the main match would be from London and they'd show highlights of regional games but how did it work in other areas ?. If you supported Leeds for example if they were playing at the Bridge and it was on LWT (The Big Match) would it be shown as the main match on Yorkshire TV or would they show a Sheffield Wednesday or United home game ?

The main match in London was always a London team home game so presumably it was the same in other regions. I posted a link to an old matches site a while ago they have some old Division 1 action but not 2 I'm afraid. Cheers for posting the 84 game I was there it was a great day and for most of us the first time we'd ever seen Chelsea win anything.

I was at the game but doesn’t bring back any memories and as bluehaze said the games weren’t fun around this time. 
can’t find any footage but the link gives good info on games and there is a I T N source website plus itv site but it might charge you.

Thanks for replies. Just wondered if anyone else could help at all. The footage must be out there.

Can only find this

Still trying to find this. Hopefully someone will see the thread and might know if footage exists. Thanks again.

Still searching for this if anyone is able to help.

They are also some information about it...

Apologies for the bump but I'm still looking for this. Maybe some new members have joined the forum and possibly somebody can help.

 

Thanks Bruce
