I want a recount

By:
The one that always sticks out in my mind, partly because you wouldn't expect it to be so high, is the Chelsea v Leeds FA Cup replay in 1970 which is no. 6

I dont know how they went about measuring it, but i can imagine that everyone, whether they had a tv or not, made an effort to watch it. Dunno if they showed it in pubs or did people that didnt have tvs all go round a neighbours house who did have tv?
|
|
By:
Really? I actually thought that might be 3 or 4 (due to smaller population and possible less widespread TV ownership)
|
|
By:
I watched that till the 90 min was up & my mum sent me to bed
 For the 66 final I still don't know to this day if I watched it or not, do not remember but that does not mean I did not watch it. |

By:
Number three is a doco called the royal family shown in the summer of 69
|
|
By:
Yes. a bloke I used to work with who isn't really a football fan said he went somewhere to watch it
|
|
By:
Is a Dallas episode up there?
|
|
By:
What number was JR getting shot
|
|
By:
 |
|
By:
I really never saw your post Nick !
|
|
By:
Remember, in those days most working class people couldn't think of owning a tv, so renting them was very popular and widespread by '66.
|
|
By:
JR shot is 16th on the programme but presumably much lower when you include sporting and royal events. Tenth on the "events" list is the news broadcast of JFKs death. That was fifty years ago, I thought tv was very rare back then so I would really like to know how they counted these figures up.

This is still unanswered:
Huggy 09 Jan 13 10:38 A very random question The first televised nine-dart finish at the World Championship was in 1990 by Paul Lim.who was his opponent? NO GOOGLING It isn't Keith Deller or Leighton Reese My latest guess is Dave Whitcombe |
|
By:
Would have thought England v W Ger 1970 and Liverpool v Bayern Munich (EC Final 1977) might be high up
|
|
By:
All i could do is name every darts player i know from the era.. Lowe, taylor, briatow, burnett. Jocky wilson, Thats about it for me.
|
|
By:
Was in mexico, perhaps very late at night.
|
|
By:
Think the bloke Lim played was Irish,not sure he was a household name.
|
|
By:
Did you enjoy your time at the PDC last week, Roy?
|
|
By:
Yes Tommy ,wasnt feeling too well but soon as I got in the atmosphere was fantastic and obviously the Van Gerwen v Lewis match was a cracker,will definately go back.
|
|
By:
Great stuff, Roy.
If you're interested, they did a bit of a tribute to Jocky Wilson and Sid Waddell onn BBC2 darts this afternoon. Scroll across to 1:20:00 - it's on for about 10 mins or so: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01pxwwq/Darts_World_Championships_2013_Day_5/ |

I've got a quiz Q.
Q. On which horse did Pat Edderey ride his 4,000th winner? |
|
By:
I will have one guess and that is it. Sindaar?
|
|
By:
No Rob.
|

|
|

By:
the Leger winner
|
|
By:
Ha! Sorry Rob, I was going to save it for my next 'Mr Nibbs Extravaganza' for the horsey chaps, but I'll think of another one for then (it's still a work in progress, by the way - although it hasn't progressed for about 2 months!)

By:
No Colly.
Correct Pumpy - but what was his name? |
|
By:
silver patriach
|
|
By:
colly got it
|
|
By:
Colly gets the coconut!
|
|
By:
woo hoo
was there and backed it too |
|
By:
Vg colly
|
|
By:
Which 'town' won the 1873 Derby?
|
|
By:
Well done Colly! I remember thinking he must be the 'bet of the season for the Leger' after his Derby run, but didn't back him at 6/4 (I think he was on the day) as the odds were too short for me.
|
|
By:
Yes Tommy, wasn't much to brag about, but it was the best horse in the race, couldn't see it getting beat and for once I was right.
|
|
By:
Nor me, Colly (couldn't see him being beat) and in hindsight I should have backed him - even though he was so short.
Still, hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh?! |
