blue11265 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Can anyone remember the "it's a knockout" show coming to Norfolk Park in about 1970. I went down there to watch. I was only five years old at the time and remember there was a long delay. I waited for an age for things to commence but it got so late, i had to go home and missed all the fun.

Funke88 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Yup, I was there. It tried to get on TV by waving, like an idiot, at anything that passed by. We stood in the rain and cold for ages and didn't see jack s*** I was with royals too: Fergie and Prince Andrew right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffix Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 If I remember right It's a Knockout came here twice, once for the local UK edition where we played S****horpe. Then we also had an edition of Jeux Sans Frontieres from Sheffield I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog D Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I A K O was also hosted on the Arbourthorne playing fields just below the Vulcan pub further up the hill from Norfolk Park.As a kid I grew up on the flats and I remember watching the preparations with great interest. I'd love to get hold of some old tape from those programmes on the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I went down there too. I sat next the big rotating 'steel' ball that was advertising Sheffield. We did play Scunthorpe, and we lost. It was a great day for me though, I was 8, and it was like a bit of Hollywood coming to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrscliff Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I went to that, but it wasn't the Royal one, that was in the 80's and from Windsor Great Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
