Football league teams City have never played in our history

[WiganBlue1986]

I was there (I paid my petrol for this one @Chappie ). Always thought it was a Friday but it was indeed played in the Saturday.

If I remember correctly, I think this game and Bristol rovers away was on sky sports box office

Those games were pay-per-view on the short lived ITV Digital platform.

it was sky ppv, City were not on ITV digital until 2001/02, when some of the games were on normal ITV and other the pay channel ITV digital, but it wasn't PPV.

ITV Digital had a very short life.

It has been suggested that Sky employees developed hacks to enable people to watch programmes without paying and these were circulated widely. I can recall stickers in public toilets giving the codes to watch ITV Digital for free. ITV Digital soon closed and BSkyB had their monopoly.

Thanks for that. My memory was playing tricks on this one. Apologies to @WiganBlue1986 for the wrong info.

I worked for Lloyds Bank in their Halifax HQ a few years ago and we had a fire evacuation drill. Their evacuation point was the stadium.

I always though Halifax Bank referred to the muddy slope behind the goal at the Shay.

Bristol City for sure. Not sure about Excreter.

We played Bristol City many times in the late seventies as both teams were in the old first division.

Yes it was 6-0 and George Potter was sent off.

Dennis put one on him, i dont remember Potter ( who had been a mate of Tueart's ) getting sent off too though. Pretty sure Dennis had bagged three before his marching orders.
