"Since the Premier League started"

Apologies, you are correct. The rich minority had colour TV then.

What I meant to say was win a major trophy since man first walked on the moon.

Still wrong, not even close

[Newcy Wolf]

Go on, enlighten me.
What major trophy have you won since colour TV?

[9goals2hattricks3pen]

Go on, enlighten me.
What major trophy have you won since colour TV?

Colour TV was intoduced to the UK in March 1966.
Midland Clubs that have won 'Major Trophies' since then are

The Albion
Villa
Wolves
Blues
Coventry
Leicester
Forest
Stoke
Derby
Oxford

Making allowances for you perhaps you meant West Midlands Clubs in which case
Albion
Villa
Wolves
Coventry
Blues

Many don't see Cov as a West Midlands city so I'll even allow you that error. So
Albion
Villa
Wolves
Blues

And is the League Cup a 'Major Trophy'?
So a more accurate original Statement might have been
Albion and Villa are the only winners of a Major Trophy since colour TV.

PS I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments of your original post.

Jesus, how pedantic can you get over a wind up?
I think you know deep inside what I meant about The Midlands...

And yes, The League Cup got us into Europe, I cla

What a n0b.

Getting a bit wound up are we?
I knew the word Villa causes a bit of a stir with your lot but you take it to another level.
If you don't like it, **** off back to your own board, simple.

Good to see you land another 'big fish' in your net newcy. The poster dismisses the league cup as a major trophy. I take it the 1966 league cup win didn't count for those in Sandwell?

A nice little quote regarding the 1968 fa cup final and colour television.


[quote]This was the first British football match to be televised in colour, though only on BBC2 (as BBC1 and ITV were still black & white channels on VHF only), colour coverage ran from 2:30-5pm. Many TV sets were not equipped to receive BBC2 on UHF at the time and so BBC1 simulcast coverage on "Grandstand" which began at 11:15-11:30am with "The Wembley Scene", then "People at the Match" at 1:30-1:55pm, "How They Got There" at 1:55-2:15pm, "Meet The Teams" from 2:15-2:25pm, "Inside Wembley" 2:25-2:50 and then over to the commentator Ken Wolstenholme. ITV (except in the Scottish region) broadcast live coverage as part of "World of Sport" with "FA Cup Final Scene" at 1:40-1:50pm and again at 2:05-2:25pm, then continuous cov

Newcy, as far as i can gather, even the DVD of the '68 cup final is in black and white. It says it all to me.
