15 (complete guess). I remember the cup tie v Arsenal in 1980.

Re: MOTD quiz question

My guess 16 times. Weren’t we the main game when we beat Fulham away in 70s ? Was it 5-2 ? I seem to remember Evans and Sayer playing, Sayer chased a ball that was thought to be going out and keeping it in play and passing for a tap in . Also we’re we main game when Alston shot from kick off ?

I don't have the list, but I'll give it to you. 17.

Here's the full list.

Good knowledge, all before my time. It's more than 9.

Can't read that list you posted, so.

Match of the Day always had two games (sometimes the second one was a regional game hence why we were on so much around the time of Scoular's good team) - I take it the second games (non regional) are included in you figure? There was an FA Cup tie with Arsenal around 79/80 where Jimmy Hill apologised for the lack of action in a 0-0 draw and I'm pretty sure the Portsmouth clock game was shown as a second game - was the FA Cup match with QPR in 1990 shown? I also can remember one of our wins up at Wrexham in the Second Division in the late 70s being on, but, maybe, that was just a BBC Wales thing - got a feeling that also applied to our win at Fulham when George Best scored for them.

There was a feature about our game at Ton Pentre in 1987 I think it was on Match of the Day as well.

Re: MOTD quiz question

I remember a game against Notts Forest in the early 70s. The fixture list was decimated by bad weather and Kenneth Wolstenholme commentated that there wasn’t many games to choose from and almost apologising for being at Ninian Park.
