ITV West don't bother covering football any more

[Never to the dark side]

if you can't get the teams right

Nothing new. Remember when ITV was regionalised and each region showed a local game on Sunday afternoon? About 50 years ago (I really don't harbour a grudge) Anglia were showing Luton 1 - City 3. Instead of linking up with Anglia,  HTV decided to show us Spurs v Stoke.

I was there that day March 73, Donnie Gillies scored an absolute screamer, waited for it to be shown on The Big Match, nothing

Seem to remember a  steady diet of Swindon and Cardiff when Toshack played for them back in those days on HTV.

Whatever happened to her? She disappeared from the sport on Westcountry TV too with no mention of why. A shame because she was very good.
