That lot up the road won't believe this but at one stage in the 70s we were everyone's second favourite team. We were on MOTD more than David Coleman.
You were on, but not loads. In those days MOTD did feature odd games from the 2nd division. The notion that you were on loads is ludicrous. I recall going to a game of you against Aston Villa that was on MOTD. TBF you were close to promotion most seasons in the 70s but most of the time there were at least 3 if not 5 clubs in front of you.
Even we were limited at that time to the odd 30 seconds filmed clip rather than a TV broadcast.
Cobblers. Between 73-80 we were often the main match (there were only 2, possibly 3 games shown). Take our promotion season 79-80 (the one when the team at the top at Christmas ended up mid table with under 15k crowds, can't remember their name but they played in black & white), we were the top match 4 times. Before the match the cameras always panned from the coast round to Ripon Street then a throbbing Roker End. Not bad for a division 2 club. I suppose it helped if the commentator in the gantry was big SAFC fan Barry Davies.
