European Cup Winners Cup Final 29/04/70

You would have been unlucky it wasn’t on the TV. The only way you were watching the game live was if you were in the Prater Stadium.
Yes that was a bloody disgrace. The FA Cup replay between Leeds and Chelsea was shown on BBC and ITV.

I didn't find that out at the time as I was on the open terrace at the Prater getting soaked through to to skin in the second half with 7,967 other souls.

Was disappointed our game was on telly but have to say it was a fantastic match ( cup final replay), even if like most northerners I was disappointed with the result. They gave score updates from Vienna during the game and the comments were very pro City.
 
Great to see - thanks for posting that.
Franny Lee at his best that night.
I don't recall seeing that miss by Ian Bowyer, late on in the game - the ball nearly ended up in the Alps somewhere!
Happy days.
 
55 years ago today we would probably have just reached Germany seeing that we hitchhiked both ways. ;) How time flies.
I was dragged by my Mum into town to watch Paint your Wagon. They put the final score up on the screen by some very low tech device. Always remember it as like yesterday.
 
We won it 21 years before United & 24 years before Arsenal..

History merchants would collapse if they'd found out about this.

The point is that it did not have to be covered by two channels.

Also the FA should not have scheduled the FA Cup replay for the same day as the ECWC Final. UEFA would do their nut if that happened now.
