That was only 8 years ago and I didn't think that at all. I even remember going to Dublin to watch pre season and plenty more, but up to 15 matches live on TV. I wouldn't have got that with 10 guesses.

The most live games we have had in a single season is 16 in the 2001/02 season. Full list of live games is in this link (scroll down to ITFC live on TV):

Guessing we had a decent number in 2014-15
And one of those was at home to Derby, lost 1-0. I remember Tommy Smith letting a long ball bounce, that was so annoying. Wasn't an evening game though, that was a Saturday lunch time.
Anyone remember a Tuesday night game against Derby at PR in the 90's. Won 1-0 thanks to a Chris Swailes header, he ran back rubbing his hands together as I think he had had a few quid on himself first goal scorer. TWTD.

I recall that Derby game; that was before ESPN+ and IFollow so had to subscribe to BeIn Sports to watch it. Think the money rubbing hands celebration was Tony Vaughn

A couple of things really stand out from that list:
1). Just how rare TV football was for clubs outside of the top five or six prior to the Sky deal in 1992. We would probably have had a few more had we been in the old First Division but ITV wasn't interested in the whole match.
2). That our supposed TV issue really only runs from 2016, seasons when we all know we've not been very good for much of it. People get far too worked up by it to posit somewhat over the top negative views.
Good work on the book btw, nicely timed for Christmas.

You're right, I stand corrected it was Vaughn. Just found the highlights

For the record, Vaughan was gesturing at Milton sitting in the Directors Box as he'd bet him he'd score. I was sitting in Churchmans and as the corner came over, a man near me shouted "oh that's nice" as it arrowed onto Vaughan's head.
Also is that the worst penalty both in terms of decision and Sedgley's effort?
Lastly RIP Peter Brackley who is the commentator on the highlights. No idea who the summariser is - but he sounds like the most miserable man in Christendom.

I was only 8 or so when this game took place, I remember being in the car on the way home and listening to the radio, them saying the celebration was because of a bet that had been won. Didn't know it was with Milts though.
Peter Brackley was great, he always reminds me of the early versions of Pro Evolution Soccer that I used to play as a kid. The summariser sounds a little like a young Barry Fry but I very much doubt it is, as you say definitely miserable.

Is that co-commentator Arthur?

Thank you, Steve. The book was finished in May and was expected to be out for the start of this season. That it is only came out on 12 September and in time for Christmas is down to the publisher's processes.
Our win record in live games is not far off 1 in 3 which is not too bad. 3 wins in the last 36 makes it look a lot worse too.
Going back to the 1980/81 season, it is criminal that none of our UEFA Cup ties were screened live, especially, the two-legged final. When I think of some of the players of that era who never played in a live game for us, it's unbelievable that their skills were not showcased in everyone's homes for such a great side.

Yeh I really liked Brackley.
Wright was bad at crosses wasn't he.
