Can someone settle a small argument propmpted by Saturday's game being on TV.

When was the first time Wrexham were live on TV? Bearing in mind that until the early 80's practically the only live club football on TV was the FA Cup final or various European Cup Competition Finals (League Cup final from about 1983 maybe?)

I reckon it was the second leg of the 1978 Welsh Cup final at Bangor on BBC Wales, mate reckons it was the Anderlecht home game. I remember watching the former on TV on a Sunday afternoon, not sure about Anderlecht as I was at the game.

Or was there an earlier one?
