My last home game as a STH before the family moved down south. I was 14.Pool v Blackburn Rovers at Bloomers from February 1978 on ITV4 Sat morning @ 10:30
I probably spent most of the game running around the Kop steps with my old mates and generally being a nuisance so a chance to watch it properly now I’ve grown up a bit
I am on the pitch at the end shaking Bob Hatton's hand - was shown on the original Granada show but don't think it is on this re-run.. Will put it on record.Pool v Blackburn Rovers at Bloomers from February 1978 on ITV4 Sat morning @ 10:30

Billy Cartmell, 2nd worst owner we ever had
You timed that perfectly. Watching the rest of that season was like watching a slow moving car crash.
The following Monday?
No way! But what a game to finish with.....
Not sure, but games like these are all there on Youtube if not on ITVX
Monday after I think.
He would hate that wouldn’t he. Both teams poor out of possession, wide players on their stronger foot, players impatiently moving the ball forward rather than concentrating on retaining possession at all costs etc. Pitch looked better than it did under koko tho.
Charlton was 14th Jan, Blackburn was 4th Feb
Yes it's the latest episode on ITVX. Series 7 episode 24.
Cartmell made comments about Allan Brown's job being on the line despite the recent 5-1 and 5-2 wins, in response to which around called him a "back stabbing rat" whereupon Cartmell sacked him on 6th Feb and it then all went a bit pear shaped
Ah, previous home game.
I've only ever had my legs on the TV. Oldham away in freezing conditions. Hardle any away supporters for some reason.
What's £375,000 in August 1978 equate to today?
