Challenge Cup Final 1980 : Mon Feb 09, 2009 12:20 am  
Hi everyone,

I am writing a book about the above match - not particularly concentrating on the match itself - more the build up and atmosphere in the city, the players, supporters, officials point of view etc the effect it had on familys / relationships / friendships - how the city celebrated the event etc and how it effected peoples lives.

I am looking to hear from any one who has a story to tell - anything that is linked to this match - whether it is the final itself, the semi finals or the earlier rounds it doesn't matter, anything of interest would be useful.

I am also looking for research material - if anyone has anything that they think might be of use, scrapbooks, photographs, programmes, books, magazines, videos etc I would also be interested.

The book is being backed by Scratching Shed Publications and David Howes, I do not intend it to be a glorification of one cluns victory over another - I would like it to be balanced and from the point of view of the city itself.

I have set up an e-mail address: challengecupfinal1980@hotmail.com

If anyone would like to contact me and / or share their story's about this historic occassion please do not hesitate to use the above adress and I will reply to you.

I look forward to your help in celebrating this wonderful moment of history.

About 3 years ago there was a DVD kicking around, that had been made up of old footage from Calendar, Look North and other media sources that had obviously been made up by someone from old VHS tapes. It was home made, but it was great... it included the match, but some real good footage of interviews on the fish docks, in shops, on Paragon station etc etc in the run up to the final. I did have a copy, but I`ve moved a couple of time now and could be anywhere. I will see if I can find it .... its of great nostalgic interest.
