📺 🌍🎧 The 1985 TV Blackout (Patreon)

We think you'll enjoy this one...

in the summer of 1985 the TV Companies failed to agree a deal to show top flight English football.

The result, no football was shown in England for the first four months of the 1985-86 season. Not even highlights.

We discuss what happened, why the clubs at the time didn't believe in live football on TV, how that opinion evolved and we have some laughs along the way talking about old stadiums and on a more serious note the evolution of TV football in the game,
