wern't they the old 'squarearial' days I remember going to the MM bar to watch one game but it didnt come on they had forgot to renew the subscription or not had the 'new' box tuned in some thing like that anyway

We never appeared on BSB, but the Monday night games and early Sunday match's that yourself and Fred recall were broadcast by a company called IIRC 'Sportscast' into licensed venues (ie MM Bar). We featured frequently 1990/1991

Northern Rail cup victory was the last time we won in front of the cameras.
Since then we have been embaressed in front of them.
its a case now of knowing which games we will 100% definatly loose, and those are the ones on the telly, Guaranteed.

I remember the Monday night games in the late 80s early 90s, being shown on British Aerospace Satellite service. It was a service just for pubs and clubs. Only a few pubs had the giant dish installed. I used to go into Woody's Wine Bar to watch the games. The broadcast came on about 7:30pm; up until that time, it just showed a test card.

Saturday afternoon live matches were shown on Granada. Elton Welsby, I believe, presented it and Clive Tyldesley was the commentator.

And even that was a fleece job
