A question for the Coventry Geeks (1 Viewer)

I make this the first we have won in the league on free to air tv in at least quarter of a decade. Anybody able to tell me the last time this happened? I don’t know the answer btw.

Must have been one since Smith scored against the Villa.

Great question. Think only the 2nd time I saw us on tv we lost to leeds in 1992ish. all sky after that...

Think it was a 2-1 win at home against Southampton on 2nd March 2009. Clinton Morrison and Leon Best with the goals!

Wasnt the blackburn replay on normal tv?.... or am I thinking of the newcastle game when scott dan got a header in the last win from a gunner throw... then michael own came on and ruined it

Newcastle was on Sky and Blackburn replay wasn’t. Both cup games though.

That's the cup, though.

I think the Wolves game was on terrestrial tv a couple of years ago.

I don't remember that one, was going to say that Leicester one on BBC with McPake scoring but turns out that was a draw

Have looked this up and can’t find any record of it

Actually, I think you're right I've mixed the dates/seasons up. I think you have to go back as far as 4th March 1990, a 2-0 win against Villa. That was live on ITV.

I'm sure there has been a more recent win but the one's I've found were either cup games or were on Sky One (so not technically free-to-air).
