I remember that game well. The highlights were shown on Match of the Day as most of the Division 1 (in old money) games had been called off. Not much of a story in today's world of football coverage but it was a big deal back then. Well, it was for me at the grand old age of 11!
Gav,
Sadly it closed during the pandemic. Not sure if it is going to re open again.
Went to watch a few Rovers games in there early 2000's when that was the only way to see the games. English Premier League started to become more popular and eventually you could have a choice of games to watch at home.
Great to see so many Rovers games being on ESPN+. It's been a while prior to the Hull game.
I fondly remember matches being videotaped over here in the States and then being posted to us. Once we'd watched it we posted it on to the next person on the list.
